Frequently Asked Questions
The Trident is a youth-led, cross-continental sailing journey to COP30 in Brazil—an odyssey for action, collaboration, and climate innovation. This isn't just another climate gathering; it's a vibrant intersection of cultures, ideas, and solutions aboard three sailing vessels powered by vision, courage, and collective responsibility.
Our crew—the "Tridents"—are changemakers from diverse corners of the globe, representing communities often left out of critical dialogues. Together, we're sailing beyond traditional boundaries to deliver fresh perspectives, bold climate solutions, and authentic stories from the frontline, directly into the heart of global negotiations.
Forget standard conferences or petitions—we're navigating ocean miles as a powerful metaphor for bridging climate ambition and tangible results, making every wave count toward real, measurable action.
"OMW 20+10" stands for "On My Way," marking 20 years since the Kyoto Protocol came into effect and 10 years since the Paris Agreement was signed. These milestones represent critical turning points in global climate policy—but commitments alone won't save our planet. Now is the time to transition from promises to concrete action.
OMW 20+10 symbolizes our commitment to transforming global goals into genuine, measurable progress. It's not just a reminder of promises made, but a powerful call-to-action: the next decade defines our planet's fate, and we're literally sailing towards the solutions we urgently need.
We sail because climate action needs more than words—it needs visibility, leadership, and courage in motion. Sailing embodies sustainability, resilience, and the courage required to tackle the challenges ahead. Each mile at sea represents our collective commitment to responsible innovation, resilience, and authentic climate action.
Sailing also unites. On board, cultures blend, ideas flow freely, and solutions are crafted by those whose voices are often drowned out by louder tides. By sailing, we symbolize our collective journey toward an inclusive, just, and sustainable future.
Our crew, known as The Tridents, represents a carefully chosen group of passionate young changemakers, advocates, scientists, entrepreneurs, and storytellers. Each member brings unique experiences from diverse communities worldwide—many facing immediate climate threats.
The Tridents aren't here to protest; they're here to propose. They share powerful insights, practical solutions, and authentic experiences directly with global leaders, media, and stakeholders. By funding The Tridents, you're amplifying genuine voices, investing in youth empowerment, and unlocking the immense potential of collaborative innovation.
The Avocado Framework is our structured approach to turning global climate promises into actionable solutions. Built on three strategic pillars—the Trident of climate action:
