Simple yet powerful message from @Coconutsurfing :

Funding youth climate movements is the best means of reducing carbon emissions, the best investment for philanthropic funds!

9 million adolescents in Europe (aged 10 to 19) are living with mental disorders. 13,1% of the 15-19 years-old in the EU in 2021 were neither in employment nor in education and training.#phileaForum2023 pic.twitter.com/tGjGNuTupY

@KTclimate shares her experience of burnout as a youth activist and how it led the Resilience Project. Her plea to funders: “Fund infrastructure, not just action – invest in the long-term development of our youth as they really are the future.” #PhileaForum2023 pic.twitter.com/W1aXhNB9EY

Just had a great session on „how do we listen? How do we fund?“ at the #PhileaForum2023. The idea is to move from monitoring „beneficiaries“ (a difficult term in itself) to learning from each other by offering more space for this as a grant giving organisation!@philea_eu pic.twitter.com/1q8NhfmyXL
