Together We Lead,
Together We Nurture
Our Earth, Our Europe,
Our Future

We have a commitment to climate justice and foregrounding the voices of those marginalized, but most impacted by climate change. Stemming from our work with “Leading Resilience: New Knowledges” and “CoFe Tables”, which both focused on foregrounding both female and global perspectives on the climate crisis, this project in collaboration with the Climate Action Network aims to bridge the gap between climate policies and the lived experiences of marginalized communities. We will ensure that those most affected by climate change have a seat at the table in shaping a just and inclusive transition. Until the end of 2026 as a part of this project, we will:

​

• Simplify climate debates and make EU policies accessible

• Elevate grassroots stories and lived experiences

• Build skills in climate advocacy and digital activism

• Foster cross-movement collaboration through hubs and dialogues

• Ensure that those most affected by climate change are at the center of the solutions

Why is this important?

Climate change affects us all, but not equally. Communities already facing displacement, inequality, and exclusion are often hit the hardest, yet their voices are rarely heard in decision-making. Our project changes that.

Through roundtables, trainings, and dialogue spaces we create opportunities where grassroots leaders, feminist voices, and those directly affected by climate change can meet with policymakers and experts. These conversations simplify complex EU climate debates and turn them into real, community-driven solutions.

The project builds on our global dialogue series Leading Resilience: New Knowledge, where leaders from Bangladesh, Nigeria, Fiji, and beyond came together to ensure that no one is left behind in the fight for climate justice. Just as those sessions highlighted the power of resilience leadership, the COFE Tables and community dialogues bring that same spirit to Europe—linking global perspectives with local action.

By amplifying lived experiences, building advocacy skills, and fostering collaboration across movements, we’re shaping a just, inclusive, and resilient future where communities are not only heard but are leading the way forward.
