Naturefriends Climate Fund - "1 Euro for Climate Justice"

18th November, 2024
Friends of Nature UK have pledged to support the ongoing NFI campaign with the motion receiving unanimous support at the Annual AGM on Sat 9th Nov 2024 held in York.
The pledge will mean that 1 euro (circa 80p) is allocated annually for each member of our group.
The campaign was launched in Spring 2024 with NFI inviting all Naturefriends countries/groups to make a substantial contribution towards a future worth living for all people. Climate change affects all of humanity, but people in the Global South, who contribute the least to global greenhouse gas emissions, are affected the most.
African countries being the current focus of the campaign... see more details and have the opportunity to make a personal donation here: https://climatefund.nf-int.org/en/news/1-euro-for-climate-justice/
