About Us
Generation Climate Europe (GCE) is the largest coalition of youth-led networks on climate and environmental issues at the European level. GCE unites the largest youth-led networks, bringing together 381 national organisations across 46 countries in Europe. We are guided by the voices of over 20 million young Europeans. GCE creates a platform for the youth to advocate for a just and green transition in Europe. GCE envisions a system that respects human rights and the planet, that includes the voice of youth and acknowledges our common, but differentiated responsibility in achieving a carbon-neutral and sustainable world.
About the role
Our Clean Mobility Working Group consists of two teams working on slightly different aspects of clean mobility, and we have an International Transport team and the Clean Cities team. Feel free to refer to our previous annual Work Plans to understand the kind of activities that are delivered by the two teams. Each team has a Coordinator and a Project Lead and various Project Officers.
