Sources and methodology
Where the figures come from.
Our own figures (young people trained, schools, localities) come from the association’s records and are published in the impact report. Context statistics come from official sources, with the year of the latest available edition.

Portfolio 2026–2027
Living labs where young people restore nature.
Code & Climate is part of the 2026–2027 portfolio of Asociația Grupul Verde: 43 programme lines in which young people build technology for nature, protected species, climate and democracy, with partners from Romania and the EU through Horizon Europe, LIFE, Erasmus+, the European Solidarity Corps and CERV.
Technology, AI and resilience
AI for local climate resilience
AI models trained by young people on local data (temperature, rainfall, soil) that tell a community what to prepare before a heatwave summer.
Target programme: Horizon Europe · Adaptation Mission
Linked to: Agentic AI, Vrancea Ready
Living labs for nature and climate
Climate education and communities (Central and Eastern Europe)
Climate lessons that start in your own village, shared with schools across Central and Eastern Europe. Young people write the code that visualises them.
Target programme: EUKI (European Climate Initiative, Germany)
Linked to: Environment & biodiversity, Clean Energy for Villages
European Solidarity Corps
International volunteering teams (waste, recycling, inclusion)
Mixed teams of young people from several countries who clean up, sort and measure waste with an app they built.
Target programme: European Solidarity Corps (EACEA)
Linked to: Environment & biodiversity, Inclusion for Every Child
Living labs for nature and climate
Soil living labs: Continental, Black Sea (Pontic) and Steppic regions
Three of Romania’s biogeographical regions, one protocol: young people measure soil moisture and carbon with sensors they build.
Target programme: Horizon Europe · Soil Mission
Linked to: Nature Restored, Sensors in Protected Areas
European Solidarity Corps
Youth solidarity projects (Asociația Grupul Verde as coach)
Young people write their own project and Asociația Grupul Verde supports them as coach: from idea to application, delivery and report.
Target programme: European Solidarity Corps
Linked to: Youth, gender & activism, Young Innovators Incubator
Technology, AI and resilience
Youth, digital innovation and disaster resilience
Secondary school students build flood, drought and earthquake sensors and a digital risk map that families and authorities can use.
Target programme: Horizon Europe
