COP29 funding

 FUNDING FOR COP29: Apply for this CVF Youth Fellowship 2024 for a chance to attend COP29 in Azerbaijani

The Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF) Youth Fellowship Program is a seven-month training program for young leaders in CVF countries. Its goal is to help them become active participants in decision-making and policy talks. Led by Youth Climate Reality Leaders in the Philippines, the program aims to support the CVF by empowering a new generation of climate negotiators, policymakers, and lobbyists. They'll gain the skills and knowledge to influence climate policy discussions at all levels.

The CVF is a group of 68 countries highly vulnerable to a warming planet. These countries represent about 1.74 billion people. They include countries in Asia, Africa, Caribbean among others. (Check official cc’d countries via the official link).

What's expected from the CVF Youth Fellows? Fellows need to commit to the whole program, with only one excused absence allowed from a synchronous session. We'll set a standard time for all sessions during the Orientation. Fellows must complete all tasks, assessments, and creative outputs to receive funding for COP29 attendance. They also need to be available for the entire duration of COP. After COP29, fellows will be encouraged to advocate for greater youth representation in climate policy in their countries.

This year's theme, "Skills for Peace," underscores the vital role that skill development plays in fostering a peaceful and sustainable future.

Understanding Green Skills Green skills are the abilities and knowledge required to support environmental sustainability and address the challenges of climate change. These skills encompass a wide range of activities, including renewable energy production, sustainable agriculture, waste management, and environmental conservation.

A Gender-Just Transition: Empowering Women in the Fight Against Climate Change

As the world grapples with the escalating impacts of climate change, the need for a just transition has become more urgent than ever. However, achieving a truly equitable transition requires a critical yet often overlooked perspective: gender justice. Integrating gender considerations into climate policies not only ensures fairness but also leverages the unique strengths and insights women bring to the table. Understanding a Gender-Just Transition A gender-just transition acknowledges that climate change affects men and women differently. Women, particularly in developing countries, are often more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change due to their roles in agriculture, water management, and caregiving. They are also disproportionately affected by poverty and limited access to resources, making it harder for them to adapt to changing environmental conditions.

8 Principles of Locally Led Adaptation: Empowering Communities for Climate Resilience

As the effects of climate change become increasingly apparent, the need for effective adaptation strategies has never been more critical. Locally led adaptation, which focuses on empowering communities to develop and implement climate resilience measures, is gaining recognition as a key approach to addressing the impacts of climate change. Here are eight fundamental principles that guide locally led adaptation efforts: 1. Community Ownership and Participation At the heart of locally led adaptation is the principle of community ownership. Solutions must be driven by the communities they aim to support. This involves engaging local stakeholders in all stages of the adaptation process—from identifying vulnerabilities to designing and implementing solutions. By ensuring that communities have a say in decision-making, adaptation measures are more likely to be relevant, effective, and sustainable. 2. Incorporation of Traditional Knowledge Local knowledge and traditional practices pla...
