Today, @UNDPNepal's Youth Climate Influencer and mountaineer @poornimashresth shared her powerful journey of resilience—overcoming failures, criticism, and financial challenges to follow her passion.

Her message to young people was clear and inspiring: “Failures, doubts, and financial hurdles didn’t stop me from climbing my dreams. Do what you love, even when the path seems impossible.”
Her powerful story today moved our #YECAP Nepal Shakers fellows (Youth Climate Catalysts-III) to a standing ovation!

This interaction was part of the @YECAP_AP Nepal Shakers Fellowship 2025 (Youth Climate Catalyst – III), a UNDP youth initiative implemented by Youth Innovation Lab to empower youth-led CSOs with leadership skills, technical capacity, and networks for inclusive climate action aligned with Nepal’s NDC 3.0.
