Global Integrated Flood and Drought Management Competition for Youth-Led Projects 2025

Following the success of the previous two competitions in 2022 and 2023, the Global Integrated Flood and Drought Management Competition for Youth-Led Projects 2025 aims to involve young professionals in climate action efforts to promote global resilience to flood and drought.

More specifically, the objectives of the competition are:

  • To enhance communities’ resilience (preparedness, response, and adaptation) to floods and drought events through youth involvement.
  • To showcase the impact youth can have in supporting communities’ flood and drought resilience.
  • To create opportunities for youth to implement, scale, and sustain their projects in the long term, ensuring youth is increasingly involved in climate action efforts and their initiatives receive recognition and visibility.

Grant of Drought Management Competition

  • The contribution provided to the selected project for the implementation of the foreseen activities is of 3,000 CHF.
