This is a press release from The Climate Reality Project Philippines.
The Climate Reality Project Philippines, in partnership with the Hawaii-based East-West Center and youth-led environmental group Wavefarers, is inviting young climate advocates to submit project proposals to “Project Niche: Advocacy Pitch.”
Launched last July 5, Project Niche aims to empower the youth to conceptualize and implement community-based projects on climate action and sustainability. It culminates the month-long campaign of Climate Reality Project Philippines’ youth cluster entitled “Niche 2021: My Space in the Climate Space,” which aims to highlight the multidisciplinary nature of solving the climate crisis and help young climate advocates jumpstart their climate advocacies.
Who can apply?
Applications are encouraged from emerging young climate advocates who are:
- High school or college students in groups of no more than three members
- Eager to solve a local climate problem
- Willing to participate in pre-pitch and post-pitch activities
Interested participants may submit their proposals for projects in the fields of agriculture, waste, industry, transport, energy, and youth empowerment.
Why apply?
One winning team will be chosen from each of the six above-mentioned sectors. Each winning team will receive up to P10,000 seed money for implementation of the project.
Aside from the seed money, successful applicants will also receive the following:
- Exclusive seminars and workshops from The Climate Reality Project Philippines
- Mentorship opportunities from climate experts and youth leaders
- Invitation to participate in the upcoming global training of The Climate Reality Project
The East-West Center’s Innovation for Sustainable Development Fellowship Program will provide financial and capacity-building support for the development and implementation of the projects.
