2026 New Taipei City Youth Climate Action – Open Call for Proposals
Climate change is not just a future issue—it is happening now.
Youth are not just observers—they are the starting point of change.
Call for Proposals
To achieve New Taipei City’s 2050 net-zero target, the city is actively promoting youth engagement and cross-sector collaboration to advance long-term climate solutions. In alignment with ICLEI’s Youth Sustainable Development Program and national green talent initiatives, we invite young people across Taiwan to take action on climate change. The 2026 New Taipei City International Youth Climate Action Forum encourages youth to propose practical, locally grounded climate solutions. Selected participants will have the opportunity to implement their ideas and present them on an international stage. Be part of the movement—amplify your impact and showcase the power of Team Taiwan in driving sustainable change.
