Engaging Youth in Climate Finance Decisions

Too often, youth are not meaningfully engaged or empowered to make decisions in the climate sphere. To put full decision-making power in the hands of youth, CJRF supported the Loss and Damage Youth Coalition (LDYC) to create a Loss and Damage Youth Grantmaking Council comprised of youth from the global south. Through three rounds of funding from CJRF, the Grantmaking Council has channeled over $550,000 to small grants by youth to youth to 25 projects in 23 countries.

Why Loss and Damage Youth Coalition?

LDYC has a vast network of youth advocates and a strong track record of engagement, advocacy, and storytelling. Individually and collectively, LDYC members have helped shift the narrative around L&D and supported the movement to bring L&D into focus at and beyond the UNFCCC negotiations.
