UN Young Champions of the Earth is a forward-looking prize designed to breathe life into the ambitions of brilliant young environmentalists. Are you a change-maker, rain-maker, ground-breaker? Do you see an opportunity, where others see a crisis? Do you want to change the world? Young Champions of the Earth aims to celebrate and support individuals who have outstanding potential to create a positive environmental impact. More than just an honorary title, Young Champions of the Earth Prize aims to nurture the next generation of environmental leaders. Up to 50 applicants who clearly articulate their skills requirements and demonstrate a strong willingness to learn will be granted privileged access to mentoring opportunities. They will be able to seek technical guidance and professional advice from a broad community of experts drawn from Covestro’s 16,000 global staff members. These mentors will share their experience through webinars, thematic online roundtables, and individual support. In the first stage of the selection process, all applications will be judged by United Nations experts according to the following criteria: The 3 Ps – The positive impact your big idea could have on the environment (planet), society (people) and its financial viability (prosperity). The 3 Cs – Evidence that you are a curious, courageous and colorful individual. Demonstrated commitment – It is important that you have already attempted to implement your big idea for at least six months and can outline achievements and developments to date. Endorsement – The strength of your referee’s recommendation. Other than these criteria, the following rules are a must for participating here: Applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 30 on 31 December 2020.
