Details

Applications are open for the Max Thabiso Edkins Climate Ambassador Program 2023. The MTECAP is a six-month online programme that catalyzes youth climate leadership by enabling participants to: connect with one another; learn from World Bank experts and Global Youth Climate Network (GYCN) and Connect4Climate (C4C) knowledge partners; and take meaningful climate action both in their communities and globally.

The programme offers a mix of technical and hands-on sessions providing the young ambassadors with in-depth knowledge and understanding of climate change and the related challenges explored in the World Bank Group Climate Change Action Plan as well as guidance on how to creatively communicate their newfound knowledge for maximal impact. By the conclusion of the programme, each participant will be expected to have attended a predefined number of learning sessions and implemented three concrete climate actions in their community. All those who meet these criteria will graduate and receive a certificate of completion.
