Calling All Young Climate Leaders!

Whether you're driving change at the national, state, or local level, we want to hear from YOU! Share your insights, vote on others’ ideas, and help us uncover the key resources, strategies, and relationships that have navigated YOU to shape climate policies and actions.

Your experiences will help UNDP Asia-Pacific and partners amplify support for young changemakers like YOU.

Youth Empowerment in Climate Action Platform

The Youth Empowerment in Climate Action Platform (YECAP) was established by UNDP in Asia and the Pacific in collaboration with UNFCCC RCC Asia and the Pacific, UNICEF East Asia and the Pacific, UNICEF South Asia, British Council, YOUNGO, Movers Programme, and 2030 Youth Force in response to young people across the region calling for urgent action on the climate agenda. Youth in all their diverse identities and experiences advance their climate journeys with the support from YECAP to meaningfully engage in action, advocacy, and acceleration of the movement towards a just climate future.
