Call for Proposals: Young Champions of the Earth
Do you know someone aged 18-30 with a big idea that could change the world? For the third year running, UN Environment and Covestro are calling on Young Champions of the Earth to submit their creative solutions to the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.
Representing every global region, seven applicants with the most promising solutions will be recognized as Young Champions of the Earth – the world’s pre-eminent environmental honour for young people.
Each winner will receive USD 15,000 in seed funding, USD 9,000 in communication funding, customized training, participation in a high-level UN meeting and global publicity. Artists, scientists, economists, communicators and entrepreneurs from all walks of life —with big, bold ideas— for the environment, for humanity, for a greener future can apply until 31st of March!
Shortlisted finalists from every region will be selected following an open call for applications. A Global Jury will then choose seven winners. Each winner is expected to implement their big idea and keep UNEP updated on their progress by producing videos and blogs that we will share on our website. Winners will also be given funding to support their communication efforts throughout the year, so that they can produce high-quality materials to share with our audiences.
