Our Program
A comprehensive initiative equipping young leaders with the knowledge and skills to drive real-world climate action.
The Youth Climate Leadership Action Program is a comprehensive initiative that equips young leaders with the capacity to understand, engage in, and contribute to climate action. Through a combination of training, mentorship, and hands-on experience, participants develop both technical knowledge and leadership skills necessary to drive real-world impact.
Each year, Y-CLAP selects and trains 30–40 young individuals with strong potential in climate leadership. Participants gain interdisciplinary knowledge and leadership training with a global perspective. The program focuses on building skills in strategic thinking, project management, cross-cultural communication, and stakeholder engagement.
Participants work in teams under expert mentorship to design and implement climate or sustainability projects with measurable impact. Selected projects may be further supported and publicly showcased at international forums and partner platforms. Projects range from local environmental initiatives to scalable digital solutions.
Participants produce high-quality outputs including articles, videos, and research reports. These are disseminated through partner media and institutional platforms to amplify impact. The program emphasizes storytelling, data visualization, and strategic communication to translate climate science into public engagement.
Y-CLAP connects participants with international organizations, academic institutions, and global forums, fostering long-term collaboration and knowledge exchange. Alumni join a growing network of climate professionals and advocates across 12 countries and 200+ universities worldwide.
Partners and participants gain visibility within youth communities, sustainability networks, and high-level policy and public platforms. Y-CLAP provides opportunities to present at conferences, contribute to policy discussions, and engage with media — amplifying both individual voices and collective impact.
