UN Environment and Covestro are calling on 18-30-year-old innovators 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 preeminent environmental honour for young people.
Each winner will receive USD 15,000 in seed funding, customized training, participation in a high-level UN meeting and global publicity.
In parallel, up to 50 applicants will be granted privileged access to an online mentoring programme.
A community of experts drawn from Covestro’s 16,000 global employees will become mentors dedicated to strengthening the viability and impact of the mentees’ ideas.
By providing such technical and financial support, UN Environment and Covestro will help young people to scale up their big ideas into real workable solutions for
environmental problems and, in doing so, inspire others to take action.
By engaging young visionaries, UN Environment seeks to engage the next generation of change-makers and thought-leaders as they set out to build a brighter world.
Interested environmentalists between the ages of 18 and 30 are encouraged to submit their big ideas here by midnight GMT on 2 April 2018.
