What is Riyadah 13?
Libya faces significant climate challenges that affect various regions differently. Despite these challenges, the voices of youth, who are key stakeholders in addressing climate change, are often underrepresented. The Riyadah 13 project aims to empower young Libyan visionaries to take an active role in climate action by providing them with a platform to develop and showcase innovative solutions.



What Are We Looking For?
The Riyadah 13 project aims to engage and empower Libyan youth to tackle climate change through a national competition for climate initiatives. The project will promote a culture of climate innovation at the local level, establish a network of climate ambassadors, and propose youth-led solutions to influence national climate policy reforms. More specifically, the project aims to achieve the following objectives:
Youth-Led Climate Initiatives
Empower young Libyans to develop and submit innovative climate action initiatives, with a target of at least 300 submissions.
Climate Ambassadors Network
Establish a network of 20 youth climate ambassadors to promote sustainable climate action at the grassroots level.
Advocacy and Policy Influence
Amplify youth voices through media coverage and stakeholder engagement to influence national climate policies..
