The Programme

What is the Youth Climate Action Fund?

Climate change affects everyday life in our city. Through the Youth Climate Action Fund, the Municipality of Kalamata supports young people in turning their ideas into actions that improve the environment and daily life in Kalamata.

We are looking for more than ideas. We are looking for young people who want to try things out, experiment and create actions with real impact.

The Municipality of Kalamata, with the support of Bloomberg Philanthropies, has a total budget of 50,000 USD for managing, coordinating and delivering youth climate action.
