Climate Justice Camp Fund
co-producing grants with and for movement organisers
In 2024, The Movements Trust facilitated a co-produced movement fund for participants of the Climate Justice Camp, in partnership with Roots
Movement Ecosystems...
The annual Climate Justice Camp has been created by Roots to provide a physical space for co-creation, collaboration, and innovation between Global South groups and leaders. The Camps provide a dedicated space for individuals from the global south to build relationships with other climate justice activists, through daily workshops, to share best practice and to co-create and collaborate on cross-region and cross-issue strategies for systemic change.
​
Attendees are carefully selected by the Roots coordinating team from 1,000s of applications, to bring together the individuals and movements with unique potential to respond to the climate emergency
Designing Grantmaking with Movements
In 2024 The Movements Trust created a co-produced pooled fund to support the movements that emerged from the Climate Justice Camps held in 2022 and 2023.
We worked with delegates at the 2023 Lebanon Camp to set the priorities for the fund, and recruited an amazing women-led alumni advisory panel with members from India, Uganda, Lebanon and Egypt. The panel helped us set grant parameters and criteria, helped design the application form, and shortlisted applications. ​

Movement Grants
We were so impressed by the projects that applied for funding, and we were finally able to award grants to 7 movements:
-
Proyecto Aylluq Q’anchaynin - Peru
-
V Tupac Amaru Festival - Peru
-
ReFresh Initiative - South Africa
-
Arise Enlighten Resource Owners - Fiji
-
Women for Climate Justice - Colombia
-
Young Advocates for a Sustainable and Inclusive Future - Nigeria
-
Girls Safeguarding Girls - Zambia
We plan for the impact stories from these grants to be reported at the 2024 Climate Justice Camp taking place in Tanzania, to maintain the momentum for new and emerging Camp ideas!
