Bangkok, Thailand & Virtual
Organized by United Nations ESCAP, Hackathon Thailand, Youth Empowerment in Climate Action Platform, Global Climate Action Partnership, and Asia LEDS Partnership as an associated event to the 11th Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD), this climate action ideation will engage youth from the Asia-Pacific region (ages 18-30) to develop practical, yet innovative, solutions to accelerate climate action.
Solutions will fall under the following categories:
- Electric mobility.
- Climate-smart agriculture and food systems.
- Climate resilient/adaptive cities.
- Natural ecosystem preservation.
- Just transition.
The just transition refers to “Greening the economy in a way that is as fair and inclusive as possible to everyone concerned, creating decent work opportunities and leaving no one behind.”
Selected youth will be grouped into teams of three and tasked to develop their solution over one week. Then, after a pre-selection process, the top three teams will move forward for a final selection process at the APFSD. The winning team will have the opportunity to present their solution at the APFSD exhibition, with the potential for other future opportunities.
The climate will be divided into two segments: online and in-person. This portion of the cremation will take place online over two days as an initial kick-off followed by preparatory workshop sessions for participants. Following this, participants will develop their solutions and submit them online.
