About Flood and Drought Management Programmes - Competition for Youth-Led Projects

outh are among the groups most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change – particularly to floods and droughts, which are becoming more frequent and intense in many regions. At the same time, they hold immense potential to contribute solutions and enhance resilience through their knowledge, skills, and access to technologies. Despite this, their participation and voices remain underrepresented in climate action and decision-making processes.

Given their vulnerability and potential, engaging youth in global climate efforts is not merely an option but an essential priority – for enhancing flood and drought resilience, promoting local climate action, and contributing to Early Warnings for All (EW4All).
