Crafting Tomorrow
Turn climate problems into solutions. Crafting Tomorrow supports young people to identify local climate challenges, develop ideas, build prototypes and test practical solutions.
The cohort
What participants receive.
Cohorts are deliberately small and problem-anchored. Participants work on defined institutional gaps, not open-ended ideas.
Problem briefs
Real readiness gaps sourced from Index findings and partner institutions.
Technical training
Climate evidence, solution design, and implementation practice.
Mentorship
Practitioners, researchers and institutional advisers attached to each team.
Prototype support
Structured build cycles with review checkpoints.
Institutional exposure
Direct presentation to the governments, schools and funders that could adopt the work.
Alumni network
A continuing network of climate-ready practitioners across the continent.
Why it matters institutionally
Talent is part of readiness.
An institution cannot be climate-ready without people who can design and run climate work. Crafting Tomorrow builds that pipeline, and gives partners early access to it.
Pilot cohort
Graduating fellows
The first cohort to complete the Crafting Tomorrow pilot project, from across the continent.
