To foster a community of young innovators dedicated to crafting solutions that mitigate the effects of climate change, the 5th edition of the 'Youth Climate Conclave' (YCC) is being convened. YCC aims to uncover opportunities for collaboration between youth and governments to advance the climate change agenda effectively. YCC 2025 is being held under the India-EU Clean Energy and Climate Partnership (CECP), financed and managed by the Delegation of the European Union to India. TERI has been implementing the annual flagship event, the YCC since 2019. This conclave with knowledge support from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, GIZ, CEEW, and Climate Fresk aims to serve as both a competition platform and a forum for education, uniting children and youth from across the country to collaborate in addressing climate change issues.
Enhancing skills such as critical thinking, creativity, scientific understanding, communication, collaboration, multilingualism, problem-solving, ethical awareness, social responsibility, and digital literacy among Indian youth are some of the major highlights of YCC 2025. Youth will also get an opportunity to draft a ‘Youth Pledge’ that will be presented during the World Sustainable Development Summit 2025 (https://wsds.teriin.org/2025/). The 5th edition of YCC promises to be an interesting event with speakers, discussions and interviews by youth, case stories etc. Entries by youth submitted under an exclusive photography competition conducted under YCC will also be showcased and promoted.
We are inviting children and youth in the age category of 10 – 18 years and 19 – 25 years of all backgrounds, regardless of race, gender, physical ability, or any other distinctions across India to register for Youth Climate Conclave 2025 scheduled from 02- 05 March 2025 which is to take place preceding the upcoming World Sustainable Development Summit 2025 (05- 07 March 2025). A poster is attached for your reference.
