<div><strong>No country left behind: Ensuring comprehensive Global South Country participation at COP31</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>COP 31 - taking place in Antalya, Türkiye from 9 to 20 November - is an important milestone in the journey to create a world in which everyone is thriving. Yet, many thought leaders and change makers from the Global Majority won't make it there due to funding constraints.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The problem</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most developing country delegations to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) are severely underfunded.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If nothing changes, many countries and regions of the Global Majority will not be represented in negotiation rooms at COP 31.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This means that decisions will be made without valuable knowledge of both the lived experience of climate change and solutions to scale up climate action.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It also means that in many rooms there will be no one to advocate for the safety and wellbeing of some countries and regions of the world. This is not okay.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The solution</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It's not too late to enable more negotiators from the Global Majority to inform decisions at COP 31.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have thus far been able to raise funds to enable 8 young negotiators to get to COP 31 and have connected several others to funder opportunities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are £10,000 short of our goal to ensure all of our fellows and alumni who are able to do so, can get to Antalya.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who we are</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Climate Leadership Initiative (CLI) is the global platform for nurturing climate decision makers, workers and changemakers from the Global Majority to co-create decisions, organisations and activations that shape our shared futures.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>CLI prepares climate leaders from the Global Majority to be at the centre of climate action and co-create equitable climate outcomes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our methodology is rooted in care-based approaches and long-term accompaniment to allow leaders to access intentional, explorative and safe spaces as they grow their technical competence, networks, and influence along with developing key leadership skills and peer-to-peer ecosystems.

<div><strong>Where will the money go? </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Financial barriers should not determine whose voices, realities, and solutions are represented or left out in global climate decision-making spaces.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the past six years, we have worked tirelessly towards equipping a new generation of young climate leaders who are ready and capacitated to co-create global climate outcomes that are inclusive, responsive, and grounded in the lived realities of frontline communities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every year, we reach out to our partners to mobilise support for our
</div>
<div>fellows and alumni to engage meaningfully in the UN climate negotiations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your contribution will help cover essential costs such as travel, accommodation, daily subsistence allowance, preparation, and post-COP knowledge-sharing activities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The impact is cascading. Each fellow and alumna will bring home insights, relationships, and opportunities and translatate them into tangible ations to make the world a better place.
