This group will accompany the Fellowship from design through implementation, contributing to its governance, learning journey, and evidence agenda.
Bringing together expertise across climate education, child rights, youth-led initiatives, research, and policy, the Advisory Group will help:
• Provide strategic input on vision, governance, and learning design
• Identify opportunities for Fellows, including mentorship, visibility, and pathways to influence
• Inform the Fellowship’s research and evidence agenda
• Champion the Fellowship through public engagement and partnerships
This model reflects UNICEF’s commitment to intergenerational governance, ensuring that youth leadership is embedded in institutional processes and supported by evidence to drive lasting impact in climate education.
Welcome

The UNICEF Leading Minds Climate Education Fellowship is a youth-centred initiative designed to strengthen global understanding of what works in climate education. The Fellowship focuses on building a robust evidence base through youth-driven research, foresight, and strategic convening, surfacing the system-level levers across education, governance, finance, and communities that enable transformative climate learning.
