Schneider Electric Foundation recently named Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) Youth Philippines as one of the five winners of the company’s global "Youth Innovation for a Sustainable Future" Call for Projects, launched in celebration of the Foundation's 25th anniversary. The initiative, which received hundreds of applications across two continents, recognizes youth-led projects spearheading innovative solutions for a more sustainable world through a just transition, skills development, and entrepreneurship.
Organized in collaboration with Ashoka's Changemaker Companies program, the global call aims to identify the 25 most impactful and innovative youth-serving projects from participating regions (Africa & Middle East, Europe, Americas, and Asia). This global call for contributions focuses on professional training, entrepreneurship, and a fair energy transition.
SDSN Youth Philippines is a program under the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network launched in 2012 to advance global expertise on the Sustainable Development Goals. They will receive a 10,000-euro prize as one of the winners from the Asia Pacific Region. In November 2024, Schneider Electric Foundation will announce the global winner chosen from the short-listed entries in Asia Pacific, The Americas, Africa, Europe and The Middle East at the COP29 climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan. The winning foundation will get a 50,000-euro prize to fund its program and support from Schneider Electric Foundation and Ashoka.
