BACKING SOLUTIONS THAT DRIVE CLIMATE ACTION
GRANT FOCUS AREas
GYCAF Grants support youth-led initiatives across six focus areas, reaching communities hardest hit by the impacts of climate change.
Sustainable agriculture
The earth remembers how to feed us — we just need to listen. GYCAF-supported youth are reimagining food systems from the ground up, fusing ancient wisdom with cutting-edge technology to build circular, resilient agriculture that nourishes communities without costing the planet its future.
CLEAN ENERGY
Renewable energy is essential to power communities especially at the last mile. Women and children are affected the most, and any effort to light up their lives will go a long way to guarantee development.
OCEANS
The warming of the earth’s oceans has led to devastating impacts on the ground but also to the ocean wildlife. Something needs to be done to protect our oceans. We support initiatives designed to clean up oceans.
CAPACITY BUILDING
Including supporting action for climate empowerment (ACE) and advocacy efforts to support climate action and climate policy. Let us not forget to educate the young generation.
Nature based solutions
Employing methods and strategies to protect ourselves from the effects of climate change like water efficiency, protecting our biodiversity and good forestry practices will help us adapt.
TECH + INNOVATION
Energy efficiency and changing behavioral patterns will contribute to mitigation efforts. This can be achieved through innovation and supporting green entrepreneurship.
