Link to Apply:



The Global Youth Climate Training Programme (GYCT) is a free, fully online capacity-building programme that equips people aged 16-35 with the knowledge and confidence necessary to engage in international climate policy. Young people are increasingly being given a seat at the table in domestic and international climate policy, and therefore require appropriate capacity-building to ensure their interventions are cogent and relevant.


This project is a collaboration between the Global Youth Coalition (GYC), a coalition of climate youth changemakers, and researchers at the University of Oxford (Oxford Net Zero, Oxford Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment). The joint team delivering this project represents a strong international and intergenerational collaboration, spanning multiple continents, professional backgrounds and ages.


This programme will help participants:


  • Critically assess the legitimacy of non-state actor commitments.

  • Understand how these fit into/complement state-level climate commitments.

  • Situate interventions within the ‘wider-than-climate’ context, i.e., understanding how non-state actors. commitments impact water, biodiversity, and social justice.
