The World Around Young Climate Prize

About

The World Around Young Climate Prize is a groundbreaking initiative designed to empower the most innovative minds of the next generation. As our planet faces unprecedented environmental challenges, this program seeks out visionary leaders under the age of 25 who are already making a tangible difference. Rather than just a standard award, this is an intensive mentor-led accelerator that bridges the gap between grassroots activism and professional design expertise. By connecting young climate champions with global industry giants, the program ensures that local solutions receive the global spotlight they deserve.

Selected finalists will join a cohort of diverse changemakers from across the globe, gaining access to a three-month curriculum tailored to amplify their impact. Whether you are working on a community-based reforestation project, a technology-driven waste management solution, or a powerful environmental storytelling platform, this prize provides the strategic tools and professional network needed to scale your work. This is more than a title; it is a collaborative platform built to foster hope, resilience, and actionable change in the face of the climate crisis. If you are living and working on the front lines of environmental change, The World Around is ready to elevate your voice and your vision to a global stage.
