The Global Young Leaders Initiative empowers youth especially from the Global South to shape the future of climate action. Through workshops, webinars, and events, we cultivate knowledge, community, and leadership skills by supporting youth engagement with climate intervention science. Young leaders engage directly with leading researchers, connect across regions, and share their lived experiences to build collective insight. By amplifying youth voices through original reports and analyses, we ensure that their perspectives reach beyond peer networks into the broader climate and research community. Our goal is to nurture informed, inspired leaders who will carry forward bold, equitable solutions for a changing world.

Youth Call to Action

Our Work in Action

Connecting Youth and Decision-Makers

Transforming youth insights into real influence on global climate policy.

GYLI brings youth voices into spaces where decisions are made. We connect directly with policymakers and organize events and intergenerational dialogues at key global forums to ensure that policy discussions reflect youth perspectives, equity, and lived realities. Through side events, convenings, and policy reports, GYLI highlights youth-led priorities and translates them into actionable recommendations. Our approach equips young leaders to influence international conversations and advocate for a future with their participation, wisdom, and vision at the center.
