2024 RECOUPLING AWARDS

The Young Global Changers Recoupling Awards is an essential part of the Global Solutions Summit. The awards  recognize impactful, youth-led projects that drive change on the ground, while also serving as an inspiration beyond their immediate impact.

15 young non-profit leaders, social entrepreneurs, and civic activists from around the world will present their initiatives addressing a diverse range of challenges including access to clean drinking water, enhancing fiscal transparency, providing clean energy, creating a circular economy, making agriculture sustainable and many more. The Young Global Changers are people aged 18-35, primarily from countries of the global south who are driving youth-led change with their projects or initiatives. Their activities contribute actively towards a better alignment – a “recoupling” – of economic prosperity with environmental sustainability and the needs of our societies and communities. Learn more about the 2024 finalists here.

The 2024 Recoupling Awards has three categories:

Business and commercial activities can drive economic growth, provide employment opportunities, and spark innovation. At the same time, many current business practices lead to excessive waste production, contribute to the depletion of natural resources, exacerbate climate degradation, and perpetuate poor working conditions. These businesses actively and uniquely align their business activies with social and environmental prosperity.

Many individuals, and disadvantaged groups around the world face significant challenges in accessing basic services like healthcare, food, housing, or education. At the same time environmental crises like climate change, environmental pollution and biodiversity loss are accelerating – threatening our natural environment and exacerbating social imbalances.
These people-first approached projects actively and uniquely directly support societies impacted by systemic inequities or climate degradation.

Around the world, citizens’ trust in government, administration and public institutions is declining-populism and nationalism are on the rise. At the same timje, we are winessing a lack of transparency and accountability for decision makers and lack of oportunies for citizes and civil society to engage and participate actibvely in important decisions that affect their lives.
The following selected projects directly support the powershifting towards citizens to engage in the civic space.
