About this grant
The Open Society Foundations' Climate Justice work in Latin America and the Caribbean addresses the disproportionate impacts of the climate crisis on vulnerable and marginalized communities across the region. From drought in Central America to extreme weather threats in the Caribbean, the climate crisis is intensifying displacement of people who lack resources to adapt to, prepare for, and recover from climate change. OSF works to achieve transformational climate and economic policies that center the social dimensions of the transition and adapt to climate impacts in ways that bolster trust in democratic institutions and reduce inequality. This grantmaking sits within a broader regional strategy focused on Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico, and connects climate justice to democratic governance, indigenous rights, and environmental activism.
