Demands

Just like XR, XR Youth also has 3 demands. The XR Youth demands are based off XR's however have more emphasis on the role of youth. Our demands are as follows:

Tell the Truth

The UK Government and all institutions, particularly those in education, must tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency. This doesn't just mean acknowledging the emergency but also proactively educating about the implications the climate crisis will have during the youth of today's lifetime

Act Now

Every part of government and society must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2025.

Go Beyond Politics

Every level of government must create and be led by the decisions of a Citizen's Assembly on climate and ecological justice. These conversations need to include and amplify the youth voice from all backgrounds.

For more information on Citizens Assemblies please attend an _Introduction to XR Youth Training_ or read up on the XR Website

Some XR Youth groups, particularly in the US, have adopted a fourth demand. This is to: demand a just transition that prioritises the most vulnerable people and indigenous sovereignty.

There were conversations happening within XRY UK about also adopting this demand however these were put on pause due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
