The Changemakers for the Planet programme is looking for young changemakers who tackle climate change, biodiversity loss, air, sea and land pollution. Changemakers for the Planet welcome applications from changemakers from a variety of backgrounds working to address the planetary crisis, including social entrepreneurs and innovators, social change agents and activists, and civil society leaders. The program intentionally recruits a diverse variety of changemakers because the climate crisis requires an intersectional and coordinated approach between numerous stakeholders that are both tackling the root causes and those who are responding to the changes which will affect society in a variety of ways.
