OPPORTUNITY | 🌍 With 84% of youth worldwide expressing concerns about climate change threatening our planet and communities, there's never been a more crucial time for action. In April 2024, Bloomberg Philanthropies launched the Youth Climate Action Fund, aimed at empowering young leaders aged 15-24 to design, produce, and govern urgent climate solutions in their cities. Three Australian cities have been selected to participate in this global initiative, with applications for micro-grants and support still open in #Melbourne and #Newcastle until the end of this month. Whether you're passionate about efforts to decarbonise your neighbourhood, community activism, or policy advocacy, this is your chance to make a real impact. Here are some ideas for how the funds could be used: 🌳 Mobilise tree planting events. 🎒 Launch public education campaigns. ♻ Initiate recycling and waste reduction initiatives. 📜 Participate in mitigation planning or preparedness programs.
