Powering Young Initiatives

UNESCO is happy to share the Call for Applications for the YoU-CAN Steering Committee! 🌍✨

The UNESCO Youth Climate Action Network (YoU-CAN) is a global platform bringing together youth climate networks worldwide to strengthen cooperation and scale up youth-led climate action. Since its launch at COP25 in 2019, YoU-CAN has grown into a vibrant community amplifying youth voices in climate dialogue and policy spaces.

YoU-CAN is now looking for 8 new Steering Committee members (more details in the Terms of Reference) for a 2-year mandate to help guide the Network’s next chapter - shaping strategy, governance, and priorities, and ensuring meaningful youth engagement across UNESCO’s climate work.

If you’re part of a youth-led network or know young leaders passionate about climate action and global cooperation (see the eligibility criteria in the Call for Applications), please apply & share! 🙌
