UNDP’s People’s Climate Vote, the world’s biggest ever survey of public opinion on climate change conducted in over 50 countries revealed that 60% of the Thai population including youth, think of climate change as a global emergency. Following this survey, the Youth-led Climate Action’ project was created to enable youth to explore the possibilities for transforming climate action utilizing a transformative change,’ process identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to achieve Goal 13 on Climate Action under the Sustainable Development Goals.  

Following a competitive selective process, three finalist teams will be selected to join a capacity building workshop to develop their transformative solutions and submit the workplan to receive 30,000 THB to implement their projects for a duration of three months from September to November 2021.

By the end of the project, youth-led reports for climate action will be disseminated through storytelling sessions to inspire climate action among their peers and the public.

This project is sponsored by The Embassy of France in Thailand, with the support of Department of Environmental Quality Promotion (DEQP), and Global Youth Biodiversity Network for Thailand (GYBN Thailand) through the implementation of the United Nations Development Programme in Thailand (UNDP Thailand).
