Student Ratings & Reviews
Very good for beginners
it WAS EASY TO NAVIGATE AND UNDERSTAND
YES
This course was an excellent experience and a great match for me. I appreciated how it transformed climate awareness into practical and achievable actions that anyone can apply in daily life. The combination of learning materials, reflection activities, climate storytelling, and collaboration with participants from different countries made the experience both engaging and inspiring.
One of the aspects I valued most was the focus on small actions and their potential to create meaningful change when adopted collectively. The course also strengthened my confidence in using my own experiences and knowledge to advocate for sustainability and climate action. I would highly recommend this course to young people who want to better understand environmental challenges and become active contributors to positive change in their communities.

The comprehensiveness and cohesion is amazing
The YGA course was a great match for me. It strengthened my climate leadership skills and helped me understand how to communicate climate issues more effectively in my community. The lessons were practical, engaging, and relevant to real challenges we face.
Since 2007, inspired by my mother, I have been separating waste and recycling diligently. I have replaced plastic containers and utensils with glass and steel. I reuse plastic bags and containers (for shopping and storage), and I carefully separate, food leftovers and plant scraps (for composting and feeding stray animals),. Cardboard, cans, and metals are sorted carefully and given to informal recyclers fir recyclings. This habit has drastically reduced my household waste, and by doing so, I’ve contributed to lowering plastic and soil pollution. Over time, I’ve realized that these small daily efforts have a real, positive effect on the environment.

Taking this course has really been helpful, I understand more about climate change, mitigation the importantance of speaking about climate change and sharing personal stories. I understand climate advocacy is not only in big rooms can be simple words shared to a friend. I understand about the global south and why many stories are not shared. Overall this course has been fun , life changing and interactive like note taking and applying what I learned with others.

The Your Green Action (YGA) course is important to me because it turns climate change from something I worry about into something I can actually act on. Living in Jamaica, I’ve seen how hurricanes, rising food costs, and environmental damage affect everyday life. This course helped me connect those real experiences to global climate issues, so I better understand why these changes are happening and what I can do about them.
I also truly enjoyed the course material because it was informative, engaging, and hands-on. It wasn’t just theory, it allowed me to interact, reflect, and apply what I was learning to my own life and community. That made the experience meaningful and practical.
Most importantly, the YGA course empowers me. It gives me the knowledge, tools, and confidence to take action, whether through sustainable farming, reducing waste, or educating others. It reminds me that even small steps matter, and that I can help protect what provides for us and shape a better future.
