Youth Climate Change Capacity Development Initiative

WBI's youth capacity development learning program on climate change includes “training of trainers” to help young people to take part in peer-to-peer learning. It also helps develop and maintain youth networks that will enable youth to become leading voices and champions in their communities on issues related to climate change.

Objective

The aim of the Youth Climate Change Capacity Development Initiative is to empower youth to become actively involved in global climate change actions and influence policies and programs in their countries.

Program Overview

The program will:

  • Introduce young people to the fundamentals of climate change through youth-friendly and interactive learning material
  • Provide a set of tools and resources to help with youth capacity development and outreach
  • Empower young people to become involved in action on climate change by developing wider range of life skills, including facilitation, youth outreach, and media
  • Encourage networking between youth organizations from various developing countries and link them with youth organizations in developed countries – essential for a global issue like climate change
