Note one thing up front. There is a 15 pound application fee, and you pay it whether or not you win a funded seat.

Overview

About the Summit

It is a three-day youth summit built around diplomacy, leadership, and climate. You join young people from many countries for talks, panels, and networking, and you get a certificate at the end.

The World Climate Forum offers a small number of fully funded seats and a larger number of paid seats. Most people who attend pay their own way.

What the Funded Seat Covers

• Return airfare
• Accommodation for the summit
• All meals during the event
• Full summit access and a 100 percent waiver of the participation cost
• Official invitation letter, useful for your visa
• Summit kit and certificate of completion

Application Fee

There is a 15 pound application fee, even for the fully funded option. It is set by the organizer, not by us, and it is not refundable. Paid youth summits like this are common and their value varies, so apply only if the topic fits your goals.

Is There an Age Limit?
