The Green Earth Action Foundation (GEAF) has launched its flagship initiative, the 4.29 Green Earth Action Ambassador Programme, aimed at nurturing global environmental leadership and driving sustainable community projects aligned with the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
According to GEAF, the 2025 programme is designed to “cultivate environmental stewardship worldwide” by selecting motivated individuals from diverse backgrounds who demonstrate strong organizational skills and experience in community outreach. The Foundation noted that successful applicants will be chosen based on their alignment with GEAF’s mission and values.
The selected Ambassadors will engage in a five-month structured programme focused on training, mentorship, and project delivery. “The programme offers a structured learning and talent-development journey through our Training and Development sessions, covering outreach planning, advocacy, negotiation, and leadership,” GEAF stated. Each Ambassador will design and implement a community project within GEAF’s priority themes, supported by expert mentorship and one-on-one coaching.
The initiative will conclude on the annual 4.29 Green Earth Action Day, when all Ambassadors will present the outcomes of their community projects globally. “If you are ready to lead, learn, and deliver measurable change, we invite you to apply and help advance the 2030 Agenda, one community at a time,” the Foundation said.
GEAF emphasized that the programme offers multiple benefits including leadership development, global networking opportunities, professional mentorship, and practical experience in environmental sustainability. Participants will “gain tools in advocacy, negotiation, and project management” while connecting with other sustainability changemakers around the world.
The Ambassador Programme’s thematic areas include Forestry and Biodiversity, Environmental Education and Community Engagement, Waste Management and Pollution, Climate-Smart Agriculture, and Marine and Water Protection. These categories enable participants to address key challenges such as deforestation, pollution control, circular economy, and climate-resilient farming.
For Forestry and Biodiversity, the focus areas include forest restoration, wildlife habitat protection, and community-based forest management. Environmental Education emphasizes awareness campaigns, school programmes, and youth leadership development. The Waste Management theme promotes upcycling, zero waste initiatives, and plastic reduction, while Climate-Smart Agriculture centers on regenerative farming, soil health restoration, and farmer education. Marine and Water Protection highlights ocean cleanup, coral reef restoration, and improved water access.
To be eligible, applicants must show proven interest or experience in sustainability or community action, demonstrate leadership potential, and possess strong communication and organizational skills. Candidates must also commit to the full five-month training and development programme running from January to April 2026, with proficiency in English or French required.
The application process involves five stages: online application, screening and shortlisting, interview, final selection and notification, and onboarding and orientation. Required documents include a CV or resume, cover letter, project proposal letter, passport information page, a utility bill to confirm home country ties, and two references related to climate action or community outreach.
Interested candidates can apply through the GEAF application portal Link.
