A world-class leadership programme designed to unearth, inspire, and equip 30 ‘exceptional potential leaders’ under the age of 30.
30U30 will include 6 half-day workshops delivered by internationally-renowned thinkers and leaders who will provide insight, inspiration and impetus allowing participants to return to their organisation, sector or area of interest and affect meaningful, planet-positive change.
Successful participants will receive copies of pivotal books and a ‘Change-Makers Playbook’ that will be invaluable as they become NI’s next generation of climate change-makers. This is in addition to cultivating a network of fellow future leaders across a range of professions and interest areas. At the end of the programme, the top 5 class members will receive a bursary to pursue their transformational project and 1 class member will receive a scholarship to attend the North American Association of Environmental Education (NAAEE) Conference.

This event will feature a world-class line up of speakers best-selling authors, global business leaders and internationally-renowned thought-leaders. The summit will provide ideas, inspiration and impetus as we strive to avert a catastrophe for our civilisation. It is the perfect launch pad for 30U30 participants and an exceptional piece of added value for the first 40 applicants.

Since 2016, the North American Association for Environmental Education's (NAAEE) EE 30 Under 30 program has recognised 210 individuals from 42 countries who are making a difference through environmental education, made possible by support from the Global Environmental Education Partnership (GEEP). In the past 2 years we have had 2 successful candidates from Northern Ireland make the EE 30 Under 30 class.
We believe it is now time to invest in and celebrate the unique and passionate leadership of talented young leaders across our country and give them a professional boost to increase their impact. Therefore we are launching Northern Ireland's 30 Under 30 Climate Change Makers Class of 2022/23. Each year our awardees will join a growing alumni network of inspiring environmental education leaders and receive ongoing opportunities to network, grow professionally, and promote their work. This program is made possible by The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs and we would like to thank the NAAEE for guiding us on this pilot.
