Deadline: July 1st | YOUTH CLIMATE JUSTICE FUND 2024 FOR AFRICANS


We support youth climate justice movements with trust-based funding, resources and youth-to-youth capacity development.

Youth-led climate justice movements are at the heart of climate and socio-environmental justice. We drive ambitious, fair, and sustainable transitions worldwide. From leading a huge socio-environmental movement in 2018  to holding policy-makers to their daily promises, youth climate movements are a driving force for change.
