Access to finance remains one of the biggest challenges facing youth-led climate organisations. While young people continue to drive innovative climate solutions in their communities, many struggle to secure the funding needed to sustain and scale their work.

To contribute to this conversation, the Youth Climate Collective has published ‘Powering Youth Finance Instruments: A Toolkit’.

The toolkit draws on insights from the Futures Lab: Climate Patch Series, bringing together the perspectives of youth leaders, practitioners, and partners from across the Global South. It explores the barriers that limit access to climate finance and outlines practical recommendations for making funding systems more accessible, flexible, and responsive to youth-led organisations.
