Climate & Biodiversity
Make your projects climate friendly
Have you considered how you can work with climate and sustainability in your organisation? Do you want to do something for the green agenda and are curious about how you can make your organisation green? Or maybe you have an international project where your partner is affected by climate change and would like to get tools and more knowledge on how to take climate action?
This toolbox brings together knowledge and tools for working with climate and sustainability initiatives in your organisation and in your international work. The toolbox will be continuously updated with resources and materials. You will also be able to find news and get inspiration from other organisations’ climate and sustainability work and, not least, stay updated on opportunities to get involved in the fight for climate action with DUF.
Climate tools and green guide
To strengthen our climate work, we have developed four climate tools and DUF’s Green Guide, which aims to guide young people on how to actively work for climate and biodiversity within their organizations and in international partnerships.
