Adelin Pierre (born 1992) is a Haitian environmental activist and peacebuilder whose work focuses on climate policy, water and sanitation, youth participation, and peacebuilding. He was selected as one of the United Nations' Young Leaders for the Sustainable Development Goals in 2025. [1]

Early life and education

[edit]

Pierre was born in 1992 in Trou-du-Nord, in Haiti's Nord-Est department.<

He studied geography, environment and territorial planning at the State University of Haiti, obtaining a bachelor's degree in Environment and Spatial Planning from the Campus Henry Christophe in Limonade.

Pierre has attributed his environmental activism to his experiences with environmental problems affecting communities in Haiti. His work subsequently expanded to climate change, water and sanitation, youth development and peacebuilding.

Environmental activism

[edit]

Pierre has been involved in youth climate advocacy in Haiti since Haiti (LCOY Haiti), which brings together young people to discuss climate issues and develop youth-led recommendations.

He has represented Haitian youth at United Nations climate conferences. He attended the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) and was listed as a participant at COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, in 2022.

At COP27 and the 17th Conference of Youth (COY17), Pierre participated as a member of Haiti's official youth delegation. He contributed to discussions surrounding the Global Youth Position Statement and advocated for greater participation of Caribbean youth in climate policy and decision-making.

Water and sanitation advocacy

[edit]

In 2020, Pierre co-founded the Haitian Youth Parliament for Water and Sanitation (Parlement Haïtien de la Jeunesse pour l'Eau et l'Assainissement), a youth organization affiliated with the World Youth Parliament for Water. The organization works to increase youth participation in water and sanitation policy, promote awareness and develop projects related to safe water, sanitation and water-resource management.[2]

Pierre served as president of the organization and represented it in international water and climate forum.

International work

[edit]

Pierre has held leadership and advocacy roles in several international youth networks. The United Nations Youth Office describes him as having more than eight years of experience in climate policy, water and sanitation, and youth-led development. It states that his work focuses on the intersection of climate action, youth empowerment, peace and security.

He has served as a regional coordinator for Latin America and the Caribbean with the Youth UNESCO for Climate Action Network and represented Haiti on the Caribbean Development Bank's Future Leaders Network.[3]

Pierre has also worked as an ambassador and facilitator with the UNLEASH Innovation Lab, supporting young people developing projects related to the Sustainable Development Goals.

He participated in international youth and peacebuilding initiatives and has advocated for the inclusion of young people in climate policy, peacebuilding and sustainable development processes.[4]

Recognition

[edit]

In 2017, Pierre was nominated as a Young Climate Ambassador by Haiti's Ministry of Environment.

In 2018, he was recognized by Junior Chamber International for his contribution to environmental work and was described as an outstanding young person in the environmental field.

In 2025, the United Nations selected Pierre as one of 17 Young Leaders for the Sustainable Development Goals. The cohort was selected from more than 33,000 applications from more than 150 countries. The United Nations identified Pierre as a 33-year-old Haitian peacebuilder and environmental activist.

Peacebuilding

[edit]

Pierre's environmental advocacy has increasingly incorporated peacebuilding and youth, peace and security. In 2025, the United Nations Youth Office profiled him as a young peacebuilder working in Haiti, where he argued that environmental disasters and social insecurity contribute to a cycle of fear and uncertainty affecting young people.

In December 2025, he contributed an article to the United Nations Youth Office on the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2250, emphasizing the importance of meaningful youth participation in peacebuilding and national decision-making.[5]
