There is no planet B! If you want to amplify your message, amplify climate action and impact your community, sign up for the Climate Ambassadors Programme 2021!
The Global Youth Climate Network (GYCN), an initiative of the World Bank Group's Youth-to-Youth Community (Y2Y), is looking for motivated young leaders around the world to take part in the Climate Ambassadors Programme 2021!
Why become a climate ambassador?
There is no planet B! Climate change is the defining issue of our generation and we need to take bold action now. We're calling on young people around the world to raise awareness and take action. Climate Ambassadors have the opportunity to act as catalysts for young people around the world, working together on initiatives that raise awareness and mitigate climate change.
The Climate Ambassador Programme is a nine-month online programme that offers an educational and leadership opportunity for young leaders to tap into the WBG's global knowledge on climate change and sustainable development, deepen their understanding of the complexities of climate change in a rapidly changing global environment, learn how to design and implement various climate actions and effectively lead initiatives to mitigate climate change and tackle the most pressing issues in their communities. What's more, the programme offers an excellent opportunity for young leaders to connect and amplify their message and scale up climate action!
