Climate Rights Funder Collaborative

Supporting Indigenous Youth Climate Activists

Associação de Jovens Engajamundo (Engajamundo) is a youth-led organization advocating for youth-led solutions to environmental challenges in Brazil. Under this project, Engajamundo aims to build the capacity of young Indigenous people in Brazil on advocacy and digital democracy tools through a joint curriculum created by Engajamundo and Digital Democracy. These tools focus on the protection of territories and the implementation of socioenvironmental agendas, as well as empowering Indigenous youth as territory leaders and changemakers. The project combines Engajamundo’s experience in training Indigenous youth leaders on advocacy tools (including mobilizations, activism and communications), with Digital Democracy’s tools which work offline, are easy-to-use, and were built in partnership with Indigenous communities in Latin America.

Why Associação de Jovens Engajamundo?

Following the Peoples’ Summit on Climate Rights and Human Survival held in October 2019, the Climate Justice Resilience Fund, Oak Foundation, Open Society Foundations, True Costs Initiative, Wallace Global Fund, and one anonymous donor formed the Climate Rights Funder Collaborative hosted at CJRF. The Collaborative brought together the human rights and environment funder communities to co-create strategies, incubate and test ideas, align funding, and pool resources. With the aim of strengthening national and trans-national climate movements with a human rights approach, this sub-fund provided modest seed grants to innovative organizations working at the intersection of climate change and human rights.
