Shaping tomorrow


We are a platform created by and for young climate leaders from the Global South, to empower them to lead change and uplift their communities. Committed to strengthening leadership among underrepresented voices, we connect young climate leaders from vulnerable countries with global decision-making spaces, to ensure they have a voice in shaping climate action

EMPOWERING CHANGE MAKERS

What We Do

Through targeted programs, mentorship, and advocacy, we provide the necessary tools and knowledge for our fellows to become effective climate negotiators. Our initiatives aim, not only to educate and inspire, but also to foster collaboration, ensuring that the voices of those most affected by climate change are heard loud and clear.

Join us on this transformative journey. Together, we can empower a new generation of climate leaders to shape a sustainable and resilient future for all.

Sharing our commitment to positive change

Our Partners

This New Generation Negotiators Program has provided me with a solid training and capacity-building space for the long term by entrusting me with responsibility for strategy and capacity-building work. This involvement will help me become an expert in climate change negotiations on a variety of thematic areas under the UNFCCC. Since the creation of this group, I have observed the growing interest in understanding the UN mechanism and how I can personally get involved in the system that is trying to provide a better world, adapted and resilient to global warming and strengthen community ties."
