✨ We’re proud to shine a spotlight on the projects selected to be showcased at the 2026 Forum, in the category « Catalyzing Youth Impact for Urban Climate Adaptation ».
Our projects focus on empowering young people to lead climate adaptation in cities and communities on the front lines of the climate crisis. From preventing climate-driven displacement in Guatemala to building a circular waste economy in Ukraine, they show how youth-led action can make urban areas more resilient, inclusive and sustainable.
🌍 This year’s Call for Solutions received 607 visionary applications from project leaders across more than 90 countries.
From this impressive response, 40 projects were selected by our international Selection Committee to be featured at the 9th edition of the Paris Peace Forum this November in Paris.

Khmelnytskyi’s Solid Waste Project turns waste management into a youth-driven climate adaptation solution, combining recycling, composting, reuse and environmental education in line with European circular economy principles. At its heart is the GuFi Center, Ukraine’s only waste education space for children and youth, alongside the Ecobus hazardous waste collection service and a “Library of Things” that promotes reuse.
Resilient Roots is a youth-led initiative helping climate-vulnerable communities in Guatemala adapt and avoid forced displacement, through climate-resilient local infrastructure, psychosocial support, and mobile information desks offering women and young people rights-based guidance on safe migration., The project aims to build a model that can be replicated across Guatemala and Central America.
