Provided by Enlight Foundation, The Patchwork Collective, and Lever for Change, the Emerging Climate Champions Award provides multi-year funding of $1 million each to youth-led organizations working to advance durable climate solutions that integrate localized and cultural contexts. This global call seeks to highlight the value of young people in addressing climate challenges (climate justice, technology, education, conservation, disaster preparedness, etc.) while counteracting the lack of funding for youth-led initiatives worldwide.

A variety of organizations, including grassroots, Indigenous, women-led, and those representing historically underrepresented communities are eligible to apply. Interested applicants can refer to the Organization Readiness Tool to determine their eligibility.

Applications were due on September 22nd, 2025.
