Thank you for your interest in applying to be an India COP 27 Young Scholar!

UNICEF India and UNDP India are proud to offer four Indian youth participants between the ages of 18 and 25 years, an award of USD 3,000 to support their participation at COP27, at Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, between Sunday November 6 and Friday, November 18, 2022.

To promote equitable representation in the final selection, in addition to considering your experience, we will also be looking at and weighing gender, category of residence, and affiliation with under served communities as part of the internal decision-making process.
