What are we?
What are we?
The Climate Justice Fund is a one of a kind financial facility that supports the development and use of legal avenues to attain global climate justice. The CJF provides support for the incubation of new legal initiatives for climate justice, with specific focus on communities and networks in the Global South. We are the world’s only fund that is set up, governed and managed by a group of well-established and experienced climate lawyers, climate justice campaigners and activists.
Legal Initiatives
We provide support to grassroots networks and communities at the frontlines of the climate and biodiversity crisis to bring legal action for climate justice. Litigation and legal initiatives that strengthen the rule of law, establish procedural rights and hold both government and corporations accountable for the impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss is a key step towards global climate justice. From small to medium sized organisations, we work fast to provide small grants to facilitate collaboration between community networks, practitioners, academic researchers and scientific experts.

Research Priorities
The CJF supports Global South-led research concerning: legal issues related to climate change and biodiversity loss; the intersections between women’s rights, environmental rights, racism and Indigenous People’s rights; and knowledge exchanges between activist and campaigning networks.
Supporting Capacity
Small grants will support individuals to build their legal capacity. We will support workshops and training for lawyers, judges, legislators and impacted communities. We will also establish communities of practice and support access to justice for those who need it most.
