On 19 October 2025, at the Multipurpose Hall of Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB), ICCCAD hosted an award ceremony to celebrate the achievements of youth fellows, researchers, and innovation fund grantees under the Capacity Strengthening of Multi-Actors to Limit Climate Change Impacts and Enhance Resilience (CAP-RES) project. The Youth Programme, a core component of CAP-RES, continues to empower young leaders to design and implement locally grounded climate adaptation and resilience initiatives across Bangladesh. Building on the strong foundation established over the previous two years, the programme supported a new cohort of Youth Fellows in 2025, while also recognizing the contributions of the 2024 Youth Researchers.
The ceremony further highlighted outstanding youth-led ideas through the Innovation Fund 2025 and Digital Campaign 2025 awards, showcasing how creativity, community knowledge, and practical action can come together to advance climate resilience. The event celebrated not only individual accomplishments but also the collective leadership of young people who are working to strengthen adaptation, promote inclusion, and advance evidence-based climate solutions. By continuing to invest in the next generation of climate actors, ICCCAD reaffirms its commitment to supporting a resilient, informed, and equitable future for Bangladesh.
