Climate Justice Collab

Beyond Philanthropy As Usual: How Might We Accelerate Climate Action Rooted In Justice?

Our CJ-JT fellows brought different perspectives across their work as climate activists in the Global South on how to shift philanthropy to fund and scale climate solutions rooted in justice.

This interactive dialogue convened youth from across the Global South to discuss how climate justice and just transition are critical frameworks for action.

Summary

The event highlighted the challenges of the Global South in accessing climate financing, the already existing philanthropic actions in financing climate initiatives in the Global South, and the underlying challenges of access and accountability. Finally, this event suggested ways to facilitate philanthropic climate financing and the best measures for access for Global South countries.
