Youth Climate Action Fund

GreenHouse at United College has joined the City of Kitchener to deliver Bloomberg Philanthropies’ new Youth Climate Action Fund, which will provide technical assistance and funding for young people ages 15 to 24 around the world to design, produce and govern urgent climate solutions in their cities.

From tree-planting or public education campaigns to recycling or waste reduction initiatives to climate change mitigation planning or preparedness programs, efforts funded by the new Youth Climate Action Fund will advance community goals like meeting decarbonization commitments or reducing consumption-based emissions.
