With great excitement, the Commonwealth Secretariat in the UK announces the opening of the “Think Trade, Think Green: Commonwealth Youth Essay Award Competition.”
Young people are encouraged to enter this competition, which has a £2,000 reward. It seeks to investigate how trade policy might be a solution and to give them a bigger role in climate action.
To assist you in submitting your entry for the Commonwealth Essay Competition, this post has all the information you need, including requirements, essay criteria, and a step-by-step approach. Young people throughout the Commonwealth are challenged by the Commonwealth Youth Essay Award to investigate the connection between trade and climate change and to suggest ways that trade policy might contribute to addressing the climate emergency.

The Commonwealth young Programme (CYP) has been concentrating on young empowerment for more than 50 years because it understands that it is crucial to inclusive development and economic prosperity.
