International Youth Conference (IYC) 2025
International Youth Conference: Connecting youths from the Himalaya to Sea
The International Youth Conference, organized by TROSA-II project. TROSA Phase-2: Rivers, Rights and Resilience (T2:3R), funded by SIDA, works to support climate-resilient livelihoods for vulnerable natural-resource-dependent communities in the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna (GBM) basins, improve management of transboundary river ecosystems, and scale up efforts to empower and increase participation of women, youth and Indigenous People in water governance across the basins, as well as strengthen institutions for cooperation on governance of shared water resources. The program works in strategically selected transboundary sub-basins within the GBM river basin system, across Bangladesh, India, and Nepal.
The International Youth Conference will take place from 31 January -2 February 2025. This event aims to bring together young leaders, innovators, and changemakers committed to tackling the most pressing challenges of our time. The conference will serve as a platform for youth to engage in meaningful dialogues, exchange innovative ideas, and develop strategies to address critical issues such as climate change, transboundary cooperation, citizen scientist approach, and water governance.
