UN Mission: Conclusion of the Libyan Youth Environmental Innovation Challenge 2026

Tripoli, January 28, 2026 (LANA) – The 2026 Libyan Youth Environmental Innovation Challenge concluded in Tripoli, marking the culmination of a national initiative that began in Benghazi and continued through Sabha, bringing together innovative young people from across Libya in the field of climate.

The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) stated that the competition, hosted by the Ministry of Environment, saw wide participation, including the Minister of Environment, Dr. Ibrahim Al-Arabi Munir, the Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Resident Coordinator, Ms. Ulrika Richardson, representatives from diplomatic missions, leaders from the private sector, and representatives from the government and the United Nations. This demonstrated strong multilateral support for youth-led innovation and locally developed solutions rooted in the Libyan context.

The competition followed a day of practical training, during which participants presented climate initiatives developed within the framework of the program.

Three youth-led initiatives were awarded seed funding, along with mentorship and technical support, in partnership with Innovation Garden. This strengthens a national pathway that empowers Libyan youth to deliver practical climate solutions, build resilience, and support sustainable livelihoods.

“EcoVision doesn’t end here,” said Ulrika Richardson, Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Resident Coordinator. “This is just the beginning of our shared commitment to youth leadership and climate action in Libya.”
