Your Ticket to Bonn: Join the 2025 ACE Hub Youth Event for Climate Leaders

Hosted by the ACE Youth Hub, in collaboration with the UN Climate Change secretariat and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Industry, Climate Action and Energy of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), this three-day in-person event is all about empowering the next generation of climate leaders. It’s grounded in Article 12 of the Paris Agreement, which champions climate education, public engagement, and action—basically, equipping you with the tools to make a real difference.

Whether you’re leading grassroots campaigns, working with local councils, or championing environmental justice in your community, this event is designed for you. It’s a chance to take your local impact global, connect with like-minded youth, and gain skills that’ll supercharge your climate work.

What’s on the Agenda?

Get ready for an action-packed three days in Bonn. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store:

• Hands-On Workshops: Dive into sessions on storytelling for climate justice, designing community-focused projects, and using culture to drive change. These aren’t your average lectures—they’re interactive, creative, and tailored to help you shine as a leader.

• Field Trip Adventure: Step out of the classroom for a guided tour of North Rhine-Westphalia’s climate solutions. See how local governments and communities are tackling climate challenges, from renewable energy projects to sustainable urban planning. It’s inspiration you can bring back home.

• Global Connections: Rub shoulders with youth from around the world, including two fully funded international participants and 15 from NRW. You’ll build partnerships, swap ideas, and co-create innovative solutions that cross borders.

• High-Level Impact: Join a UNFCCC Dialogue on Action for Climate Empowerment session, where you’ll discuss intergenerational learning, Indigenous knowledge, and how youth can shape international climate policy. Your voice will matter on a global stage.

Why You Should Apply

This event is more than a resume booster—it’s a launchpad for your climate journey. You’ll walk away with sharper advocacy skills, a network of global peers, and fresh ideas to transform your community. Plus, the ACE Hub is committed to inclusivity, especially for those driving change at the grassroots level. If you’re passionate about climate education, advocacy, or justice, this is your moment to shine.

The best part? The program is fully funding two international participants and 15 NRW residents, covering all costs for the event. If you can fund your own way to Bonn, you’re also welcome to apply—just bring your enthusiasm and fluency in English. The only requirement is full commitment to the three-day program.
