Ready to Explore: Green & Just Futures

Discover your direction, meet inspiring people, and learn how you can make a difference.

Apply to Ready to Explore: Green & Just Futures, a free 3-month journey to connect your passions with real-world change. You will work on a personal plan tailored to your interests and goals, formulate your questions, work in groups, and learn how you can take your next step forward.

Whether you’re studying, rethinking your career, or simply curious, this is your chance to connect your interests with real-world change. Are you ready to take on your personal journey?

Who is this for?

We are looking for curious, motivated people who are ready to explore:

• Students and young professionals who want to connect their studies and experience with meaningful impact
• Young professionals thinking about a more purpose-driven path
• Early-stage changemakers with ideas to test
• Anyone asking themselves: how can I contribute to a greener, fairer world?

You don’t need any experience. Just bring your questions, your curiosity, and the time to commit to this shared exploration.

What will you get out of it?

1. Community: connect with 15-20 like-minded peers exploring similar questions.
2. Network: meet experts, mentors, and peers working at the intersection of climate, peace and justice.
3. Co-working hours: accountability sessions and guidance from an experienced coach to make progress in your exploration journey.
4. Reflect on your position: based on your experience, and background there are different ways in how you can create a change, at the end of these months you will reflect on your positionality in the complex climate systems.
5. Confidence: leave with a clear personal plan, (change your job, explore and potentially launch your own initiative, continue studying) and the belief that you can make a difference.

This is a journey of both discovery and action. By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you stand and how to move forward.

How does it work?

The journey runs from October to December 2025 and includes 8 in-person sessions to help you stay on track and stay inspired.

We will look ahead together: mapping opportunities to apply your learnings, connecting you with ongoing projects and networks, and introducing you to other PLNT programmes where you can keep growing your skills, test new ideas, or even launch your own initiative. Whether you want to join a community of entrepreneurs, participate in innovation challenges, or get tailored coaching, we help you find the right next step.
