Solar Generation taking their future in their own hands
Solar Generation is made up of young people from all over the world taking action against climate change and calling for a clean energy future. Solar Generation, initiated by Greenpeace in 2003, is now active in Germany, Switzerland, France, China, Thailand, the Philippines, India, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Indonesia, Togo, Kenya, Uganda, US and Australia
The number of countries involved in Solar Generation is rapidly growing. All around the world, we are showing that change is possible and you can make it happen yourself.
Waiting quietly for politicians to act is not an option; Solar Generation are taking the future into our own hands.
Here are just a couple of examples of our achievements and activities:
- Convincing several universities in the US and Australia to start purchasing clean energy and installing solar panels
- Involved in over 120 solar panel installation projects in Switzerland
- Solar Generation member Abigail from the Philippines gave the opening speech at the Renewables 2004 Conference
- Celebrated the Kyoto Protocol entering into force with activities worldwide.

Generation raise public awareness about climate change and the
solutions and move politicians to act. Solar Generation organise solar
powered concerts and hand out information about our work at other
concerts. We also install solar panels, support energy efficiency and start discussions in our universities. We show that action against climate change works: "While politicians are still talking, we are getting active!"
