They focus on helping disadvantaged communities to adapt to a changing climate. They are building a global community dedicated to improving the mental well-being of young people, and they are providing youth with the skills, education, and resources they need to reach their full potential. They believe that the key to creating a better future is connection – fostering relationships between those in the know and those most in need, advocating for change, and tackling society’s challenges from the ground up. This is why they are committed to supporting impactful leaders to participate in the annual One Young World Summit, the world’s international community of young leaders.
The Z Zurich Foundation Scholarship 2025 will allow 25 young leaders working on prevention-focused mental well-being projects, adaptation-focused climate resilience projects, or projects enabling social equity through education, employability, or entrepreneurship solutions, to participate in the One Young World Summit 2025, which takes place in Munich, Germany from 3 – 6 November.

If you are a young leader working to champion any of these causes, this scholarship could be for you!
They are in search of younger leaders actively driving grassroots initiatives for weak communities in several of the following areas:
- Adapting to Climate Change: Initiatives that assist communities in adapting to local weather change and constructing local weather resilience. Climate change adaptation focuses on reworking behaviors, programs, and methods of life to defend communities from the impacts of local weather change.
- Improving Mental Wellbeing: Initiatives targeted on prevention and/or promotion of youth psychological wellbeing. Promotion fosters enabling environments that improve younger individuals’ emotional well-being, whereas prevention focuses on figuring out and mitigating dangerous components of psychological well-being circumstances.
- Enabling Social Equity: Initiatives tackling obstacles to training, employment, and/or entrepreneurship by equipping younger individuals with the sources, data, and abilities to unlock their potential.
