Global Youth Coalition is excited to announce that the Global Youth Climate Training Programme (GYCT) 2024 is now accepting applications. Following the success of our 2023 training, Oxford Net Zero, Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment and the Global Youth Coalition are once again collaborating to offer this FREE, comprehensive ONLINE capacity-building programme for the global youth.
The Global Youth Climate Training Programme (GYCT) is a capacity-building programme that equips people aged 16-35 and below with the knowledge and confidence necessary to engage in international climate policy. Young people are increasingly being given a seat at the table in domestic and international climate policy, and therefore require appropriate capacity-building to ensure their interventions are cogent and relevant.
This project is a collaboration between the Global Youth Coalition (GYC), a coalition of climate youth changemakers, and researchers at the University of Oxford (Oxford Net Zero, Oxford Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment).
