Written answers

I launched the Youth Climate Justice Fund 2021 in March this year and I invited applications from eligible youth organisations. The purpose of this Fund is to support youth-led action on climate justice at community, regional and national level.

A Selection Committee comprised of representatives from my Department, the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications, and a young person from the Comhairle na nÓg network reviewed the applications received and met to discuss and agree recommendations to me.

I was delighted to see the standard of the applications and the interest from the sector. Organisations to be allocated funding are being notified this week.
