Program

• LAYCS Fellowship

  Building long-term leadership. The Fellowship is the next step in the LAYCS journey. With its first cohort in 2026, it responds to a simple reality: access is only the beginning. Many alumni continue engaging in climate negotiations, but without the support needed to sustain their leadership over time. The Fellowship accompanies a small group of alumni as they deepen their expertise, build professional careers in climate policy and become recognised voices within international decision-making spaces.

• LAYCS Scholarship

  Opening doors. Over the course of a year, scholars build the knowledge, confidence and networks needed to participate in UN climate negotiations while remaining rooted in their communities. The programme combines technical learning with care, language justice and political accompaniment because meaningful participation requires much more than attending a conference.
