Empowering Youth for Land Rights and Climate Justice: Apply now for the Fully Funded Climate Justice Opportunities
Are you a young activist passionate about Indigenous land rights and climate justice? Do you envision a world where local communities are at the forefront of combating the climate crisis?
If so, this is your opportunity to be part of a transformative campaign that prioritizes youth-led action on two of the most pressing issues of our time.
Land Rights Now!, in collaboration with Tipping Point, brings together Oxfam Novib, Fridays for Future Netherlands, and Extinction Rebellion Netherlands to launch an exciting initiative aimed at amplifying the voices of youth activists in Latin America and the Caribbean.
With COP30 on the horizon in Belém, Brazil, this campaign will focus on securing Indigenous and community land rights—a cornerstone in the global fight against climate change.
This Fully Funded Climate Justice Opportunities initiative is calling for three dynamic youth activists to join the Youth Advisory Group and play an instrumental role in shaping the campaign’s strategy and vision.
If you’ve been seeking an impactful way to advocate for climate justice and community land rights, this is your chance to make a difference.
About the Campaign
As the world gears up for COP30, the campaign aims to unite youth activists across the region under a shared narrative and call to action. Indigenous and community land rights are not just human rights—they are also among the most effective solutions to mitigate climate change.
By protecting forests, reducing carbon emissions, and fostering sustainable livelihoods, these land rights safeguard the planet while empowering local communities.
Through this campaign, 5 to 10 youth-led groups will be funded to drive impactful action, culminating in a powerful presence at COP30.
