Mr. Stephen Ecaat highlights a key truth:
a good climate solution is useless if communities can’t understand or adopt it. We are hearing powerful insights on how to bridge the gap between innovation and real-world impact. @CenteFoundation #UCIC2026

What happens to a young innovator after the applause? After the pitch, the prize and the photographs, does that young person return home with the means to grow a solution, or with another certificate and the same barriers as before?" — Richard Matey

We cannot demand accountability without providing support.
Live at the Final Pitch, Richard Matey calls for stronger investment in youth governance, skills, and financing so they have the capacity to lead, not just a seat at the table. #UCIC2026 @CenteFoundation
