Max Thabiso Edkins 2025 Climate Ambassador Programme for Climate Leaders.

Applications are now open for the 2025 Max Thabiso Edkins Climate Ambassador Program. The Max Thabiso Edkins Climate Ambassador Program is a six-month online program that helps participants level up their climate leadership by enabling them to: connect with one another; learn from World Bank Group experts as well as GYCN, Y2Y, and C4C partners; and take meaningful climate action in their communities and at scale. A combination of technical and hands-on sessions equips ambassadors with in-depth knowledge and understanding of climate change as well as guidance on how to creatively convey this knowledge to audiences both local and global.

• Act in your community using the techniques you study; 
• Network with the other ambassadors in your cohort; and 
• Engage in an active Global Alumni Community of Max Thabiso Edkins Climate Ambassadors to help you continue your climate journey and stay connected beyond the program.

• Past and current experience as a youth leader in communities at the local, regional, national, or global level.
  • Demonstrated ability to organize community activities is an advantage.
