Global Youth Coalition for Road Safety: a partnership to continue on to 2026
Article originally published by TotalEnergies Foundation
After an initial support phase (2019-2023) that helped federate more than 2,100 young people from 121 different countries, a new partnership between TotalEnergies Foundation and the Global Youth Coalition for Road Safety (YOURS) has been agreed on, to last until June 2026. With the shared aim to inspire, mobilize and unite young people worldwide to create a youth-led force demanding and delivering safe and sustainable mobility at global and local levels.
The 2024-2026 cycle will continue to build on the existing work done by and for young people, but efforts will focus more on actions in urban areas. YOURS will be provided with training, tools, seed funding, and will develop partnerships to promote the implementation of innovative local actions and strategies to achieve a “glocal*” impact.
“Global” is a combination of the words “global” and “local” to describe an approach that links the local and global dimensions of the same phenomenon.
YOURS will therefore deepen its regional and local influence by making customizable, translated resources available that connect global advocacy to change on the ground.
