Youth Grant on Loss and Damage
Through the Loss and Damage Youth Coalition’s partnership with the Climate Justice Resilience Fund, it will support ten (10) organisations with $10,000 and one (1) organisation with $50,000 to enhance their efforts in addressing loss and damage.
As a result, it calls on organisations from the global north and south to apply.
Thematic Areas include:
- Recovery and Rehabilitation: This includes projects that aim to restore houses, infrastructure, ecosystems, and livelihoods after extreme weather events and protect the communities.
- Relocation and resettlement of affected communities: This includes projects that seek to construct alternative livelihoods for communities located in extreme weather-prone areas or to support communities facing climate migration.
- Addressing non-economic loss and damage effects: These are projects that aim to address effects such as loss of cultural heritage, loss of community knowledge, and loss of natural heritage.
- Addressing the economic loss and damage effects: These projects aim to strengthen the economic well-being of the community facing climate change impacts by offering or spreading financial protection.
- Education/Storytelling/Public Awareness projects: These projects aim to increase access to education in affected communities, and strengthen the ability of a community to share their existing action to address loss and damage in a manner that calls to escalate the existing impact.
