We have received an announcement from the United Nations University concerning their upcoming programme, the “Global Youth MIDORI Platform 2026 (GYM)”.
The Global Youth MIDORI platform (GYM) was launched in 2024 by UNU-IAS and the AEON Environmental Foundation. It aims to empower youth to take a leading role in developing solutions to local and global environmental challenges.
GYM offers a range of learning, capacity-building and networking opportunities to equip young people with the skills and knowledge needed to address biodiversity loss, climate change and other sustainability challenges. The programme is also a platform for participants to connect with other youth and provides support for their continued engagement and future activities.
Those interested are encouraged to read the full programme details here, and to attend the online information session in Japanese or English.
