The ISETS-ESCAP Youth Voice Competition for 2024 is now accepting applications. The annual Youth Voice on Energy Transition Programme is proudly announced by the International Society for Energy Transition Studies (ISETS) in collaboration with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).

This programme is in line with the UN Secretary-General's objective to involve young people in debates about important worldwide concerns, such as the switch to sustainable energy. Seeing how important it is for youth to be change agents, the Programme seeks to utilise youth energy, inventiveness, and dynamism to further the worldwide effort to transition to sustainable energy.

The Youth Voice Competition (also known as the Global Youth Voice Competition) and the Youth Dialogue are the two main components of the programme. Youth from all around the world are invited to participate in the Youth Voice Competition and showcase their creative concepts, inventions, goods, initiatives, and fixes that will further the energy transition. The winners of the competition will be invited to take part in annual energy-related meetings and events at ESCAP headquarters, including the Youth Dialogue.

The main goals of the ISETS-ESCAP Global Competition of Youth Voice on the Energy Transition are to: raise the voices of young people in favour of green development and the energy transition; encourage young people from different backgrounds to take action for a just transition; stimulate creativity in the creation of new technologies and energy transition solutions; and facilitate cross-border collaboration in the fight against climate change.

Don't miss out on the application deadline which is 15 July 2024.
