UNDP launches new direct funding opportunity for young climate leaders through the Youth4Climate initiative

/

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in partnership with the Government of Italy, has announced the launch of the 2025 Youth4Climate Call for Solutions. This global initiative invites young climate leaders and youth-led organizations to submit innovative and impactful solutions to tackle the pressing challenges of climate change.  With 1.9 billion young people worldwide – the largest generation in history – youth are already shaping the future of climate action. From mobilizing global movements to implementing solutions in their communities, young people are driving change. Yet, despite their leadership and deep knowledge of local realities, they remain underrepresented in climate decision-making and lack access to the technical, political, and financial support needed to scale their efforts. UNDP is committed to addressing this gap by amplifying young voices, supporting youth-led innovation and ensuring that climate policies, including the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), reflect the priorities of future generations. o ensure greater accessibility, the 2025 Call for Solutions has expanded its language offerings, and will be accepting applications in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Young climate leaders and organizations are encouraged to apply by May 26, 2025.

UN Youth Volunteer Program

/

UN Youth Volunteers are between 18 and 26 years old, and work with UN agencies on the frontlines of political, developmental and humanitarian operations. UN Youth Volunteers are a separate category of UN Volunteers created in response to the United Nations Secretary-General’s call for greater engagement in volunteerism of history’s largest generation of people under 30. UN Youth Volunteers help the United Nations – one of the world’s most important intergovernmental organizations – to fulfill its mission. Because UN Youth Volunteers are sponsored by United Nations agencies, their partners, governments or academic institutions, the length of assignment depends on the requesting entity’s needs. Most UN Youth Volunteer assignments are between six and 24 months. On occasion, national and international UN Youth Volunteer assignments are less than six months and then are referred to as ‘short-term’ assignments.
