Climate champions will have access to training and information to begin the debate in their communities and develop projects that help people adapt to and mitigate climate change. Through the global network of young enthusiasts, knowledge, contacts and resources will be exchanged on how to act on climate change impacts and contribute positively to the lives of people. Climate champions may also seek financial support for their projects and exposure to national and international events, among them the United Nations COP16 meeting in Mexico.
The project Climate Generation is conducted in 60 countries worldwide. It forms a growing global network of more than 3,000 people. These people come from a wide variety of backgrounds, including civil society, the education sector, government, the business sector, the media and non-governmental organisations. Today the network includes, for instance, an independent filmmaker from Finland, a musician from Nepal, and a civil engineering student from Bangladesh.
