Young Climate Prize Community

The Young Climate Prize is more than a prize, it’s a growing, global network united in a shared mission to change tomorrow. Meet our extraordinary community.

The World Around is, to me, a community that transcends time and space—bringing together some of the brightest minds across the globe, free from the constraints of traditional evaluation systems, and fostering life-long mentorship between senior and emerging generations.
