About Young Global Changers Recoupling Awards 2024

The overarching goal of the Young Global Changers program is not only to connect inspiring young people from around the world during the Global Solutions Summer School and the Global Solutions Summit in Berlin but to create an engaged global network of young individuals with innovative ideas from across the world to change the world for the better.

Program Details

We are currently witnessing a trend in many advanced and emerging economies where economic prosperity is increasingly becoming decoupled from social prosperity and environmental sustainability. To stop this trend and to reverse the growing global inequality, the ongoing destruction of the environment, the weakening of democratic institutions, and the decline of international collaboration and trust between nations – a global paradigm shift is urgently needed.

Recoupling Award Categories

Reimagine Business Award:

Business and commercial activities can drive economic growth, provide employment opportunities, and spark innovation. At the same time, many current business practices lead to excessive waste production, contribute to the depletion of natural resources, exacerbate climate degradation, and perpetuate poor working conditions.

We are looking for businesses and social enterprises that have implemented a business model that fosters social prosperity and environmental goals.

Reimagine Social And Climate Action:

Many individuals, and disadvantaged groups around the world face significant challenges in accessing basic services like healthcare, food, housing, or education. At the same time environmental crises like climate change, environmental pollution and biodiversity loss are accelerating – threatening our natural environment and exacerbating social imbalances.

We are looking for projects that directly support societies impacted by systemic inequities or climate degradation.

Reimagine Civic Engagement Award:

Around the world, citizens’ trust in government, administration, and public institutions is declining – populism and nationalism are on the rise. At the same time, we are witnessing a lack of transparency and accountability for decision-makers and a lack of opportunities for citizens and civil society to engage and participate actively in important decisions that affect their lives.

We are looking for projects directly supporting the power shifting towards citizens to engage in the civic space.
