Aims/priorities: This fund aims to support youth-led organisations that are fighting for climate justice in England to deliver projects that empower young people to take climate justice action in ways that are meaningful for them and their communities.
Funding will support existing youth-led organisations that are trialling new climate justice initiatives, ideas at an early stage, and organisations that want to add a climate justice lens to their existing work.

- Be led by at least 55% of people who are the characteristics of communities most impacted by climate injustice, or those underrepresented in the climate justice sector.
- Have at least three people leading the organisation.
- Have a UK bank account or be willing to be fiscally hosted by one that does.
- Organisations that have a group agreement or constitution in place that sets out how the group intends to work together.
