In 2024, we are expanding our in-person work internationally, with an initial focus on Europe (primarily because this is where COP29 will be held) and Canada (this is where the One Young World Summit will be held in 2024). This will be followed by expanding into the Global South, where there is a great need for this work. We are therefore actively looking for recruits from Europe, Canada and the Global South who are keen to advise the Resilience Project on the challenges facing young climate changemakers in their areas.
N.b. Within Europe we are particularly looking for applicants from Sweden, Portugal and Germany, though we welcome applications from all countries in the continent of Europe.
