Are you aged 18-35, from Africa, and have a climate mobility solution that you are working on? Apply for the African Climate Mobility Youth Solutions 2023 to receive up to $5,000 to support your work over one year.
The Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum and the Global Centre for Climate Mobility (GCCM) Solutions Lab are launching a call for applications for youth-led climate mobility solutions/projects from Africa to receive funding of up to $5,000 per project. With funding support from the Robert Bosch Stiftung this new funding arrangement for youth-led climate mobility solutions/projects has been designed by the youth for the youth. They believe in harnessing the potential of young people and breaking the barriers to African youth access to climate finance, to create innovative solutions that promote climate resilience to enable people positive adaptation journeys amidst the climate crisis.
The Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) is seeking passionate and dedicated youth organizations, groups, and individuals with innovative projects that focus on climate resilience in disaster-prone areas to address both rapid and slow onset climate events. They are interested in projects that address the needs of climate migrants and individuals displaced by climate change (people on the move), refugees and those at risk of displacement. The solutions/proposals should align with at least one of the following thematic areas:
- Addressing loss and damage
- Climate literacy in disaster prone and vulnerable communities
- Storytelling and art for climate awareness
- Ecosystem restoration in disaster prone areas
- Green jobs in vulnerable communities and for IDPs, refugees, migrants, and youth
- Policy and advocacy
