Center for Climate Solutions

The NYLI Climate Solutions Center exists to champion grassroots solutions to local climate and environmental issues. We ensure that our efforts and initiatives in climate and the environment remain inclusive and grounded with the realities of Filipino communities. We focus most of our resources on climate education and capacity-building, climate journalism, and implementing community-based climate solutions.

It envisions a climate-resilient nation with local communities at the forefront of climate justice, leading the way toward a sustainable future.

Goals

Rooted in the mission to empower local communities take a more proactive role in climate action, CSC focuses its resources to:

  1. Equip young leaders and communities with the knowledge and skills to understand climate change, its impacts, and the pathways for mitigating and adapting to its effects.
  2. Amplify stories of climate resilience and innovation from local communities by providing support to young journalists in covering climate-related issues that affect their regions.
  3. Work directly with local communities to implement sustainable, locally adapted climate solutions to strengthen their resilience to adapt and thrive.
