AMA launches Youth Climate Action Fund; calls for proposals

The Accra Metropolitan Assembly’s (AMA) has officially launched the Youth Climate Action Fund programme, and called for proposals.

The initiative, powered by Bloomberg Philanthropies and in collaboration with United Cities and Local Governments as well as the Bloomberg Centre for Public Innovation at Johns Hopkins University, aims to empower young individuals in cities to take meaningful action towards combating climate change.

The programme, which will run for the next six months, is expected to provide young residents of Accra, aged 15–24, and youth climate organisations with the necessary resources and support needed to implement climate action projects in the city under the Accra Climate Action Plan (CAP).
