Empowering Youth for Climate Action

About

The resilience innovation competition for empowering youth on climate action is a joint initiative by the Ministry of Planning and Development (MoPD) and UNICEF Ethiopia which aims to increase the role of youth in climate diplomacy at both the local and global levels.

Given Ethiopia's vulnerability to climate impacts and the unique perspective on climate change, it is vital to engage the youth in crafting sustainable strategies for the country's future. The two winners of this competition will have the prestigious opportunity to be sponsored for participation at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of Parties (COP) 29 which will be held at Azerbaijan in November 2024.

The top five will also be identified and will be provided a certificate of participation. Additionally, these innovative ideas could be supported to contribute into the climate actions in the country including green legacy initiative of Ethiopia and scaled up for broader implementation at the national and global level.
