Applications are Open for the ATO-ClimatEducate Project 2025: Empowering Global Youth for Climate Education

Admin,

Application Deadline: October 12, 2025

The Alpha Team Organization (ATO) has officially opened applications for the 2025 ClimatEducate Project Membership—a global opportunity for young climate advocates dedicated to advancing climate change education and leadership.

The ClimatEducate Project, a flagship initiative of ATO, is a youth-led movement promoting climate literacy, leadership, and advocacy. Launched in April 2016 in the Philippines, the project began as a climate leadership effort led by ATO members trained by former U.S. Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Al Gore under The Climate Reality Project.

Since its inception, ClimatEducate has been a powerful force in raising awareness about the climate crisis through education, outreach, and creative communication. The project combines digital and in-person efforts to drive environmental action among young people worldwide.

Impact and Global Reach

As of August 2025, ClimatEducate has organized over 90 climate education initiatives across 15 countries, involving young leaders, educators, and advocates primarily from developing nations.

The team has actively participated in international environmental dialogues such as the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and has been featured in both local and international media in Brazil and the Philippines.

To enhance coordination and ensure contextual relevance, the project operates through four regional hubs:

  • Africa
  • South Asia
  • South America
  • East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific (EASEAP)

This structure enables the project to tailor its campaigns to the diverse environmental challenges faced by each region.
