As a novice entrepreneur, do I already have to have a company before looking for financing for a specific project?

I missed joining today's session on "Introduction to Entrepreneurship + The 3 Pillars of Entrepreneurial Thinking". The reason is I received selection mail just 75 minutes before the start of the session. If I join all remaining sessions and complete all required tasks, would I be eligible to receive certificate?

Thank you!

For someone transitioning from core paleoclimate research toward science policy and science communication, with the goal of contributing more directly to climate action, what kind of pathway would you recommend? Are there particular trainings, courses, fellowships, policy experiences, or opportunities to work with climate-focused startups and organizations where scientific knowledge can be translated into practical solutions? I would especially be interested in understanding how to build the right skills and experiences to move from research into policy, implementation, and meaningful climate action.

For crisis-affected and displaced communities in the Sudano-Sahel who face frequent climate-induced disease outbreaks and paralyzed healthcare access, we deploy community-led emergency response networks powered by rapid open-source communication and local triage hubs.

@Fnu Pranshu A very compelling transition! Moving from fundamental climate research into science policy and implementation often benefits from three strategic bridges:

1. Multilateral Fellowship Programs: Look into policy fellowships like the UNFCCC Youth Fellowship, UN SDSN Youth networks, and regional climate innovation labs (such as OML or Aspire) that bridge academic research with governance mechanisms.
2. Translating Data into Policy Briefs: Practice converting complex climate datasets into concise, 2-page actionable policy briefs targeting non-technical stakeholders and municipal decision-makers.
3. Engaging with Grassroots & Startup Hubs: Partnering with youth-led community adaptation projects or climate-tech incubators allows you to pilot how empirical science directly solves operational bottlenecks on the ground.

That is super helpful. Thank you so much.

You're very welcome! Wishing you immense success on this impactful journey. Always happy to connect and exchange insights!

In the context of climate mobility, how can we better measure the social integration of climate-displaced communities — beyond economic indicators — to capture resilience, belonging, and access to basic services?

At Associação Fikra in southern Brazil, we work with migrants and refugees, including those displaced by the 2024 Rio Grande do Sul floods. We're trying to understand what "successful integration" really means for people who have been uprooted by climate impacts.

I'd love to hear how others here approach this — especially from colleagues working in Africa, South Asia, and the Pacific. What indicators or community-led approaches have you seen work?

Is it realistic to approach investors and openly say, "We have the vision and the value prop, but we want you to partner with us specifically to help us solve X"? Or will admitting that a piece of our operational logic isn't fully figured out scare them away at the idea stage?
Curious to get your thoughts on how transparent to be about operational gaps when pitching early.

How can early-stage social enterprises bridge the financial gap during the "Transition Valley of Death" before primary green revenues start flowing? Are there specific blended finance mechanisms recommended by UNDP for community-led projects during this phase?

I have some question regarding project submission. Kindly share me the link for project submission please.@

Ma question est la suivante : comment je pourrais être mettre en place mon idée de développement communautaire avec la production et la distribution de composte ?

Hello @Rebekah! I recently lost access to my Youth4Climate account but have finally managed to regain access. I wanted to ask how I can obtain my certificate of completion and access the post-bootcamp feedback form, as I would still like to complete all the necessary requirements. I was already able to attend all the sessions we had. Thank you for your assistance!

Hi everyone,
I have not been able to log in using my main email that I signed up with for this program. I even tried forgot password but it doesn't work. I have sent emails twice to the official email but I got no response. How do I go about that?

Hi Fionolla and everyone,

Thank you for raising this issue. I also completed all three sessions of the Entrepreneurial Mindsets Bootcamp and actively participated in the Climate Café.

I am still waiting for the post-bootcamp feedback form, which is the only remaining requirement for my certification.

I have contacted the Youth4Capacity team and would appreciate any updates or a direct link to the form if someone has already received it.

Has anyone here already received and completed the post-bootcamp feedback form for the Entrepreneurial Mindsets Bootcamp?

If so, could you please let us know how you accessed it or kindly share the link?

I have completed all the other requirements and am still waiting for the feedback form to finalize my certification.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Thank you!
