Year in Review 2025
CPD Climate Week 2025
CPD Climate Week 2025 was a four-day initiative to turn global and national climate ambitions into fair and inclusive action. Under the theme “Transforming Ambition into Action”, it brought together policymakers, researchers, youth, civil society, and the private sector for an international conference, focused dialogues, and thematic presentations and discussions on climate justice, finance, innovation, and resilience. The programme showcased research by young scholars, featured youth-led policy workshops on climate budgeting and adaptation planning, and culminated in a Climate Olympiad, policy case competition, and green project exhibition. By linking high-level discussions with youth engagement and practical solution-sharing, CPD Climate Week 2025 helped connect policy, research, and on-the-ground action in support of a more resilient and equitable climate future.
