Ecologies of Empowerment: Moving from Biodiversity Youth Funding Insights to Action
What if the way we fund youth-led biodiversity action is the very thing holding our entire sector back?
Join us for a dynamic and thought-provoking workshop built around the Ecologies of Empowerment Report, developed to challenge and reshape how funding flows to young leaders in biodiversity. By engaging your head, heart, and hands, this workshop invites participants to think critically about funding systems, connect with the realities youth face on the ground, and explore tangible ways to act.
Designed for funders, this workshop creates space to reflect on your role, responsibility, and agency in transforming the funding landscape. You will leave with a clear sense of what you can do next to support youth leadership and unlock the full potential of the next generation of biodiversity action.
“New growth appears fragile. Seedlings look risky compared to old trees - but forests without seedlings are already dead, and new growth is where adaptation happens fastest.”
