Tell Me About The Award:

The Global Youth Climate Training Programme (GYCT) is a free, fully online capacity-building program that equips people aged 16-35 with the knowledge and confidence necessary to engage in international climate policy. Young people are increasingly being given a seat at the table in domestic and international climate policy, and therefore require appropriate capacity-building to ensure their interventions are cogent and relevant.

Also, this project is a collaboration between the Global Youth Coalition (GYC), a coalition of climate youth changemakers, and researchers at the University of Oxford (Oxford Net Zero, Oxford Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment). The joint team delivering this project represents a strong international and intergenerational collaboration, spanning multiple continents, professional backgrounds, and ages. We received 10,000 applications for our first iteration of the program, demonstrating a greater need for effective youth capacity-building programs.

Through the generous support of the ClimateWorks Foundation, we are delighted that this year we can offer 5 bursaries for admitted applicants in our 2024 training to attend COP29. This bursary of up to £3000 is to cover flights, accommodation, food, and transport.  We can unfortunately not support accreditation – this is primarily for applicants who can attend COP29 but face financial barriers. Application process for the bursary:

• Apply for the 2024 Global Youth Climate Training Programme (link above and here)
• Accepted applicants will be directed to a secondary application form to express their interest in receiving a bursary to attend COP29.
• Applications will open during September and applicants will be informed of the success of their application by early October.
