The Climate Fellowship is a 12-month programme supporting young women land defenders and climate activists across Mexico and Central America.
Applications are particularly encouraged from trans women, LGBTIQ+ women, women of colour, women with disabilities and Indigenous women, recognising that climate justice and gender justice are deeply interconnected.
Through the Fellowship, a network of young women are united in their commitment to climate action and land defence, creating spaces that foster belonging, collective strength and resilience.
Projects can be new ideas or existing initiatives ready to scale. All must demonstrate sustainability beyond the six-month implementation period.
