Applications for the Global Ambassador Council 2025–2027

We believe in the power of young people to lead the way.

The climate and biodiversity crises demand bold, imaginative leadership—and young people around the world are already showing us what that looks like. At Plant-for-the-Planet, we believe that children and youth are not only the future—they are the now. Or at least, they should be. However, often they're kept out of decision-making processes. That’s why we’re inviting young changemakers to apply for the next Global Ambassador Council (GAC) for the term 2025–2027. This is your opportunity to be a leader in a global network that supports your growth, honors your voice, and shares your commitment to a better world for future generations.

Why Join the Global Ambassador Council?
The GAC is the official youth leadership body within Plant-for-the-Planet, representing our global community of thousands of Climate Justice Ambassadors. Our council co-creates, amplifies, and guides the direction of our powerful youth-led movement of youth for climate justice and ecosystem restoration.

As part of your volunteer 2-year term, you will:

  • Work closely with other youth leaders and represent your region’s Climate Justice Ambassadors in key international events and internal exchanges with the Plant-for-the-Planet Foundation and its global network.
  • Help shape the future of youth empowerment within a recognized international foundation committed to climate justice and ecosystem restoration.
  • Collaborate across regions to co-design, strengthen and support the Global Ambassador Community structure and projects.
  • Create and/or support Plant-for-the-Planet’s international youth empowerment initiatives and campaigns.

This role comes with real responsibility—and real opportunity. It is voluntary, but deeply rewarding. You can expect to dedicate 10 hours per month, depending on your level of involvement and interest in specific initiatives.

Who Should Apply?
We’re looking for passionate, committed young people who:

  • Are under the age of 23 (no minimum age limit).
  • Care deeply about climate justice, biodiversity, and children and youth empowerment.
  • Are ready to collaborate, listen, and lead in a diverse, international team.
  • Have fresh ideas, projects and a clear vision for the kind of impact they want to have in the next 2 years.
  • Ideally bring lived experience, local impact, and a desire to grow your leadership globally.

Whether you’re already involved in your local Plant-for-the-Planet community or part of the Climate Justice worldwide movement—we want to hear from you.

Your Voice Matters
From advising on youth empowerment strategies to co-leading initiatives like the Ambassador Awards, or representing Plant-for-the-Planet at high-level international events such as UN Climate Conferences (COPs), Global Ambassador Council (GAC) members shape the vision and impact of our youth-led movement for climate justice.

Benefits and Opportunities
As a Global Ambassador Council member (2025–2027), you will:

  • Scale your own climate and environmental initiatives internationally, with support from a global network.
  • Represent youth voices in key international spaces, including UN conferences (e.g., UNFCCC COPs, CBD COPs, UNCCD COPs) and global youth events.
  • Attend an International Youth Summit and participate in regional and global exchanges that foster learning and collaboration.
  • Grow as a leader through high-level advocacy, international networking, and training opportunities.
  • Receive a certificate of service recognizing your contribution as a youth advocate in international climate justice processes.
  • Co-lead and support youth-led projects and campaigns, driving local and global impact.
  • Be featured in global communications such as blogs, campaigns, or social media to amplify your voice and work.
  • Access exclusive learning and mentorship opportunities to deepen your skills and expand your reach.

We know the path to climate justice needs youth at the center. We hope you will consider taking your place there.

🌍 Applications for the 2025–2027 term are open until August 31st, 2025. Please fill up the next form to apply nominate someone from your network.

With great excitement,
The Global Ambassador Council of Plant-for-the-Planet 2025
