Nine inspiring 2024 UN CC:Learn Champions shared their diverse climate stories during three engaging sessions, showcasing how individual actions drive collective change.

Read on to find out more.

Last week, the UN CC:Learn community came together for a series of events that brought climate stories to life. Over three dynamic sessions, held on 10 and 11 December in English and 12 December in French, nine of the 2024 UN CC:Learn Champions showcased their inspiring work in the field. With an audience of nearly 1,000 engaged alumni from around the globe, these 90-minute events showcased inspiring examples of climate action in different shapes and forms.

Each event followed an engaging structure that kept the energy high. The Champions—Afifa, Sagaitu, and Vathanak in Event 1; Alan, Hannah, and Varnessa in Event 2; and Jules, Souhayata, and Wadley in the French session—each had 10 minutes to share their unique climate stories. Their work painted a compelling picture of leadership in climate action, from reforestation projects to educational comic books. Following these presentations, an active and engaging Q&A followed. The Champions answered thought-provoking questions from the audience, sparking deeper dialogue about the challenges and successes of their climate actions. The conversations were rich and left participants inspired by the diverse ways individuals can make a difference.

The events closed with an insightful exercise. Participants were asked to submit a pledge answering the question, “What climate action do you pledge to carry out after being inspired by the UN CC:Learn Champions?” Participants bought into the idea and pledged several different things, from “increased community engagement through grassroots initiatives” and “more capacity building on climate change” to “scale up renewable energy” and “reduction carbon footprints,” to name a few.

These events highlighted how individual actions can motivate broader changes within larger groups. Building on this momentum, UN CC:Learn is planning similar events in 2025 featuring Spanish and Portuguese-speaking Champions.

CYNP participants at COP29. Aerial view.

In 2024, UN CC:Learn and the Future Leaders Network trained young negotiators through the Climate and Land Youth Negotiator Programmes. These initiatives prepared youth for key roles at COP29 (UNFCCC) and COP16 (UNCCD), equipping them with essential skills and knowledge.

Read on to find out more.

2024 was a remarkable year for UN CC:Learn’s partnership with the Future Leaders Network to deliver two unique and dedicated training programmes for young negotiators around the world. The Climate training programme focusing on negotiations under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) ran for its third year with UN CC:Learn as a partner. We welcomed the pilot Land Youth Negotiator Programme that focused on negotiations under the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) in collaboration with the UNCCD Secretariat.

Both the Climate and Land training programmes ran in parallel from June – November/December 2024 and offered a unique opportunity to explore the synergies between 2 of the 3 Rio Conventions and build the skills of young negotiators to navigate the complex and fast-evolving multilateral landscape, with a vision to enhance the critical role that the youth play in the decision-making process at a global level. The aim was to prepare young negotiators with mandates within their national delegation for the upcoming negotiations at the 29^thUNFCCC Conference of Parties (COP29) in Baku and the 16^th UNCCD Conference of Parties (COP16) in Riyadh, combining an intensive and engaging programme with pre-learning courses, expert online workshops, community building sessions and knowledge repository in the UN CC:e-learn platform.

This year’s Climate Youth Negotiator Programme (CYN) saw 257 young negotiators take part across the fundamental and Advanced training tracks, with 111 of them being integral members of their official negotiating teams at COP29. The first-ever Land Youth Negotiator Programme (LYNP) also engaged young negotiators from 35 countries in the Fundamental training track, and several took part in the COP16 negotiations.

With a growing number of well-equipped young negotiators, there is no doubt that the time to invest in our youth is to build intergenerational climate justice through dedicated training programmes like the CYNP and LYNP to secure our combined futures.

Group picture with participants during the workshop in Quito.

With participation of more than 100 stakeholders from diverse sectors, Ecuador takes a significant step toward strengthening capacities to tackle climate change, consolidating efforts in education, awareness-raising, and international cooperation.

Read on to find out more.

In November 2024, Ecuador advanced its commitment to climate action by initiating the co-creation of its National Strategy for Action for Climate Empowerment (ENACE). A series of participatory workshops brought together a diverse array of voices from across the country, underscoring Ecuador’s dedication to building a society resilient to the impacts of climate change and actively engaged in shaping its future.

Workshops were held in Tena, Guayaquil, and Quito, representing the Amazon, coastal, and Andean regions, respectively. These gatherings were complemented by a virtual webinar and an online survey, ensuring a broad and inclusive consultation process. In total, more than 100 individuals from 70 organizations and institutions took part, spanning public and private sectors, national and international NGOs, academia, and indigenous communities. This diversity of participation highlighted the inclusive spirit of the ENACE and its focus on capturing the perspectives of all sectors of society.

Participants at the workshop in Quito.

The ENACE is more than just a strategy; it represents Ecuador’s ambition to empower its citizens with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to contribute meaningfully to climate action. It builds upon the pillars of education, training, awareness, access to information, public participation, and international cooperation, creating a comprehensive framework that addresses both the causes and consequences of climate change. By doing so, the strategy complements existing national mitigation and adaptation plans, bridging the gap between policy and practice.

For instance, ENACE’s emphasis on education aims to integrate climate change topics into formal and informal educational systems, equipping young minds with the tools to build a better society. Its training initiatives focus on enhancing technical capacities in key sectors, fostering innovative solutions to climate challenges. Awareness campaigns will inspire behavioral changes at all levels, while improved access to information ensures that decision-making is transparent and inclusive. Public participation, particularly from historically marginalized groups such as indigenous peoples, is central to the strategy, ensuring that their voices and traditional knowledge shape the path forward. Finally, the strategy strengthens Ecuador’s ties to international networks, promoting the exchange of ideas and resources to tackle shared global challenges.

This collaborative effort, led by the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Ecological Transition (MAATE), in partnership with UNICEF and UNITAR through the One UN Climate Change Learning Partnership (UN CC:Learn), places Ecuador among regional leaders in climate empowerment. Chile, Uruguay, and Argentina have already developed similar strategies, and Ecuador is now poised to join their ranks, signaling a strong commitment to regional solidarity in addressing the climate crisis.

As the ENACE moves from consultation to drafting, the insights gathered during this process will lay the foundation for a policy that not only reflects Ecuador’s diverse realities but also serves as a model for collective climate action. By fostering a culture of empowerment and cooperation, Ecuador is taking a significant step toward a sustainable and equitable future for all its citizens.

At COP29, the CILSS and UNITAR presented a USD 20 million regional project to strengthen climate education in the Sahel. Read on to find out more.

Climate Education is seen as a pivotal element by the Sahelian states in the fight against the climate crisis. In 1973, this region faced a major drought, affecting tens of millions in an event that was, to some extent, the harbinger of the extreme events that we now see in all regions of the world.

On November 18, 2024, at COP29 in Baku, the Permanent Interstate Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel (CILSS) and UNITAR co-hosted an event to highlight the importance of building societal resilience through climate change education across West Africa and to publicize a newly minted regional Declaration.

High-level speakers included Mr. Kada Ballah, Minister Coordinator of CILSS, Mr. Angus Mackay, Director of UNITAR, and Mr. Gilberto Silva, Minister from Cabo Verde, and the Deputy Executive Secretary of the CILSS . Mr Mackay asked in his remarks:

“In a world where citizens are increasingly losing their assets and livelihoods to extreme events, how aware of the risks are these victims in advance of such events, and how might they be better prepared through better education?”

A new Regional Project for the implementation of the Declaration was presented to accelerate climate knowledge and skills for children, youth, and women. The initiative aims to empower communities, enhance public participation, and drive policy innovation through strengthened climate-sensitive education.

The panel discussion was vocal and interactive, delving into the challenges and opportunities in advancing climate education. For example, youth leaders called unequivocally for more support for teachers and for general education. On the issue of financing, it was recognized that countries themselves need to allocate their own funds alongside international sources. On the issue of adaptation financing (a key priority for COP 29), several speakers highlighted the very limited proportion of this funding being channeled towards education and that this undermined the overall effectiveness of adaptation measures.
