together 60 young people from Baja California Sur, Baja California, and California to develop
practical climate solutions for one of North America's most interconnected regions.
The initiative is organized through a collaboration of universities, government agencies, and
civil society organizations from Mexico and the United States. It seeks to empower emerging
leaders to address shared regional challenges related to climate change, energy, water,
sustainability, environmental justice, and community resilience.
Through training, mentorship, multidisciplinary collaboration, and project development
support, participants will design solutions with measurable impact and pathways toward
piloting, incubation, implementation, or further research</div><div><br></div><div>Application link: <a href="https://forms.gle/JHS6S9gMTMkVdM556" target="_blank">https://forms.gle/JHS6S9gMTMkVdM556</a></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p>The application deadline is <b>June 29, 2026.</b></p><br></div></div></div></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;color:rgb(33,33,33)"><span style="color:black"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Best Regards, </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;color:rgb(33,33,33)"><span style="color:black"><font face="arial, sans-serif"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;color:rgb(33,33,33)"><span style="color:black"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Julio Sosa, MBA</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;color:rgb(33,33,33)"><span style="color:black"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Senior Academic and Research Programs Officer | Alianza MX</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;color:rgb(33,33,33)"><span lang="ES-US" style="color:black"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Oficial de Investigación y Programas Académicos | Alianza MX</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;color:rgb(33,33,33)"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><a href="https://alianzamx.universityofcalifornia.edu/" title="https://alianzamx.universityofcalifornia.edu" style="color:purple" target="_blank"><span lang="ES-US" style="color:rgb(5,99,193)">https://alianzamx.universityofcalifornia.edu</span></a><span lang="ES-US"></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;color:rgb(33,33,33)"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Schedule a meeting with me here: </span><span style="color:rgb(5,99,193)"><a href="https://calendly.com/julio-sosa/30min" title="https://calendly.com/julio-sosa/30min" style="color:purple" target="_blank">https://calendly.com/julio-sosa/30min</a></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;color:rgb(33,33,33)"><img width="200" height="47" src="https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/mail-sig/AIorK4xDHX2ve_-QC6qqKfNVLJhkZ9xwCWVLMg-AMPoHYWju2YPf_KxgBayB3jE2eAW2bA5phIUqq2vxTNdP" style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;color:rgb(33,33,33)"><span style="color:black"><font face="arial, sans-serif"> </font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;color:rgb(33,33,33)"></p><font face="arial, sans-serif"><img></font></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_quote">
