About ICCCAD Youth Fellowship Programme

Young people are the stewards of the future. Globally, youths are advocating for climate issues at local, national, and international levels. Youth are working to address their concerns and provide solutions to real-world problems regarding climate change. As youth are the largest demography and have the highest potential to bring changes, young voices and actions are considered critical in the climate change advocacy arena.

ICCCAD recognizes the contribution of youth in climate action and feels the importance of youth engagement in reframing climate ambitions. Thus, ICCCAD has designed a one-year-long fellowship programme where youth can be involved in the sector of climate change development and identify challenges through solution development by providing viable solutions for this vast sector. This programme will enhance the resilience and adaptive capacity of the youth in local communities and raise these issues at national & international levels. The programme can also help young men and women to come forward from their positions and participate in the knowledge and awareness-building process by involving them in effective learning and capacity-building processes.
