Kinderenergy at the United Nations
CULTIVATING INTELLIGENT ENERGY FOR A MORE BEAUTIFUL & PEACEFUL WORLD
June 11-26 2026: The Global Peacemaker's Program/ NYC
June 11-26, 2026, UN Headquarters, New York City, USA
Based in New York City, The Global Peacemaker's Summer Program gathers top ranked undergraduate youth from different continents to build awareness of the crucial role children and youth play in generating innovative ideas, stimulating the economy and promoting peace. We will analyze what is being said on the one hand and what is being done on the other. Financing for development has always been a hot topic at the UN but, will state actors and corporations really put their money where their mouths are when it comes to creating lasting policies that truly eradicate poverty and promote economic growth? The implementation process can be done effectively and with reduced costs if we analyze what is most needed in the short and long term.
We will speak with scientific experts regarding low carbon energy resources and how policies after the COP21 are affecting changes in the way governments and industry are transitioning into a 2º C mindset. We will also learn how the gas & oil industries are still crucial energy providers and why they cannot be totally excluded from the environmental energy agenda yet. We will ask some tough questions such as: in our attempt to help Earth are our policies hurting the poorest of the poor? and, why are we not talking about nuclear energy more?
Participating students will learn how education and diplomacy are promoted through sports as a means to advance environmental stability, sustainable development, human rights, peace and equality for all through civil society participation by youth within the local, national and international level.
GPEE is a bold leadership program dedicated to analyzing the most important UN policies affecting children, families, population, free speech, oil and gas and renewable energy and their impact on economic progress, democracy and peace. This program is designed for youth between the ages of 18-25 years of age and it's aim is to awaken the energy expert and statesman in every young person through a concise, well organised study of the environment and the international principles and rules which sustain the United Nations.
Since being granted Special Consultative Status within the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations in 2013, Kinderenergy has been working non-stop to highlight the dignity of all children regardless of age, race or economic background while also showing how children and youth are Earth's most important natural resource and solutions' providers who, when given the chance, become Earth's greatest stewards of true social and environmental justice.
