ECO-UNESCO’s Young Environmentalist Awards (YEA) is an all-Ireland programme that rewards and recognises young people aged between 10-18 who take environmental action.

Since its inception in 1999, YEA has involved 65,000 young people across Ireland.

Students will hear in the coming weeks if they have made the final, which is set to take place in May.
