SUPPORT YOUTH-LED NDC IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS

Members are encouraged to explore ways to improve access to funding for NDC implementation projects of youth and youthled organizations. These can include:

Establishing a fund or window of an existing fund

that includes small grants for youth to support NDC implementation through relevant projects.

Supporting youth in preparing NDC-relevant projects.

Provide resources and support (e.g., seed capital) needed to take the next step toward raising capital, so that youth can take their climate solutions from idea to business plan.

Supporting or collaborating with youth organizations in seeking funds from existing organizations, such as the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) Small Grants Program. The Support Unit will make information on funds available
