The Max Thabiso Edkins Climate Ambassador Program is a six-month online program that catalyzes youth climate leadership by enabling participants to:
connect with one another;
learn from World Bank experts and GYCN and C4C Knowledge Partners;
and take meaningful climate action both in their communities and globally.
The 2024 Max Thabiso Edkins Climate Ambassador program offers a mix of technical and hands-on sessions providing the young ambassadors with in-depth knowledge and understanding of climate change and the related challenges explored in the World Bank Group Climate Change Action Plan as well as guidance on how to creatively communicate their newfound knowledge for maximal impact. By the conclusion of the program, each participant will be expected to have attended a predefined number of learning sessions and implemented three concrete climate actions in their community. All those who meet these criteria will graduate and receive a certificate of completion.
