OUR MISSION

The science is clear: countries have a short time window to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 °C. Global warming is causing long-lasting changes to our climate system, threatening lives and livelihoods worldwide.

​

We have a unique opportunity through the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to ensure a sustainable, equitable, and prosperous future for all.

​

Youth worldwide are increasingly active in the climate agenda, demanding collective action through initiatives like climate strikes. Amplifying their voices and supporting their initiatives is crucial.

At YECAP, we equip young climate leaders in the Asia-Pacific with resources, support, and platforms to drive impactful climate action. We believe in the power of youth to create meaningful change and strive to enhance their capacities, building a supportive network for sustainability and resilience. Through our programs and partnerships, we aim to inspire and mobilize a new generation of environmental heroes committed to addressing the urgent challenges of climate change.

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, the 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.
