Hindu Kush Himalaya–Arctic Youth Leadership Forum 2025
International
The inaugural HKH-Arctic Youth Leadership Forum 2025, organized by ICIMOD and Arctic Circle, is a unique, fully funded opportunity for youth aged 19–35 from the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) and Arctic regions.
The forum aims to unite youth champions to build solidarity and amplify mountain and polar voices in global climate dialogue. Selected participants will travel to Reykjavík, Iceland for an in-person forum in October 2025 and engage in a series of capacity-building workshops, mentorships, and international advocacy platforms such as COP30 and the Arctic Circle Assembly. Applicants are required to submit a CV, personal statement, video pitch, passport copy, and an endorsement letter. Youth from Indigenous and local communities are strongly encouraged to apply.
