The HKH–Arctic Youth Leadership Forum, facilitated by ICIMOD and Arctic Circle, aims to connect youth leaders from both regions to build solidarity, amplifying local and mountain youth voices towards co-creating sustainable and inclusive climate solutions.
Through a one-year fellowship, 12 youth champions (aged 19–35) will gain the knowledge, skills, and networks to lead from the frontlines, bringing local realities and experiences to global climate platforms.
Who are we looking for?
Selected through a nomination and selection process, ICIMOD and Arctic Circle are looking for 12 youth leaders from the HKH and the Arctic regions.
The youth champions will form the first-ever HKH-Arctic Youth Leadership Forum, a dynamic platform focused on youth-led climate action, cross-regional collaboration, and the preservation of the cryosphere and biodiversity. Together, the Champions will share lived experiences, co-develop solutions to shared challenges, and amplify youth voices in national, regional, and global climate dialogues.
