About the Camp

International Climate Camp 2026 is a flagship immersive platform designed to empower youth, environmental leaders, researchers, and climate advocates from across South Asia through real-world sustainability action, leadership development, and cross-border collaboration. Following the successful completion of the first International Climate Camp in 2025 held in a rural Himalayan community, the second edition expanded its scope to a larger regional and academic engagement, bringing together more than 100 participants in Kathmandu and Pokhara, Nepal from 7 to 11 July 2026. This unique experience integrates climate science, community action, cultural exchange, and environmental exploration to develop future climate leaders capable of driving sustainable transformation in their communities and professional ecosystems.
