GYCAF strives to create a future where young people have the tools and funding needed to lead in green entrepreneurship, helping to build a low-carbon, environmentally responsible global economy.
The fund’s core mission is to support climate initiatives led by youth, particularly in communities that are especially vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change.
Aligned with global climate frameworks, the fund contributes to the collective ambition of mobilizing USD 100 billion and limiting the rise in global temperatures to well below 2°C by 2025. In response to the latest IPCC findings highlighting a challenging decade ahead, there is an urgent need to establish supportive systems that empower youth to be at the forefront of climate solutions.
