Youth Forum

Overview

A diverse group of people stand together, some wearing cultural attire, in a conference room with chairs and a banner in the background.
For the first time, the WMO delegation included youth ambassadors who held consultations with youth organizations to help guide the development of the WMO Youth Action Plan.

The Strategic and Governance Space

Youth Forum is the strategic space of the Network. It brings together young professionals interested in the future direction of WMO and National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs), including governance, institutional sustainability, organisational change and strategic priorities. The space encourages youth to reflect on how institutions can evolve, remain relevant and strengthen their long-term impact in a rapidly changing world.

Objectives

  • Encourage youth participation in strategic and governance discussions.
  • Reflect on the future evolution of WMO and NMHSs.
  • Explore innovative approaches to institutional sustainability and partnerships.
  • Promote intergenerational dialogue on leadership and organisational change.
  • Contribute youth-informed recommendations to broader institutional discussions.

Youth Forum is a space for ideas, reflection and forward-looking dialogue.
If you are interested in shaping the future direction of weather, water and climate institutions, this is your space.
