Born off the back of The Climate Action Conference, Youth Climate Collective is an ambitious youth-for-youth organisation founded by Dylan Chand. The brand identity is alive with this fresh energy and optimism; the brandmark a rolling flow that calls upon the shape of Aotearoa’s rangi (sky), moana (sea), and whenua (land) as it builds momentum and unifies into collective action.

The beating heart of the organisation is the taiao (earth - learn), and it becomes the heart of the brand, inclusive of diverse knowledge and worldviews. The taiao morphs into an iconographic language of pihi (sprout - ideate), puawai (flower - create), and ngahere (forest - grow), representing the journey in which the organisation helps youth along to become resilient climate leaders.

We were a proud sponsor & panelist for Youth Climate Collective’s launch night, on September 15. An inspiring evening with speakers such as Dr Rod Carr and Pok Wei Heng, the event drew over 100 people as part of the Auckland Climate Festival.
