Moreover, the programme will offer participants the opportunity to connect to other young, up-and-coming professionals working in the global policy space related to the wider sustainable development and climate change action movements. Finally, Young Leaders will be strongly involved in determining the ultimate activities and outputs of the programme, further ensuring benefits to intellectual l and career development.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Criteria<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Suitable candidates fulfil the following criteria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Recently graduated from a graduate school programme or between three (3) to five (5) years of work experience in an organisation working on global climate and sustainability agendas.<\/li>\n<li>Strong interest in knowledge-based policy-making, as well as in the role transport can play in putting communities on pathways toward sustainable development and climate change action.<\/li>\n<li>Educational background in sciences and\/or humanities; efforts are to be made to recruit Young Leaders beyond transport-related fields.<\/li>\n<li>Fluency in English (oral and written).
