We believe that the pathway to systemic change is rooted in and led by communities on the frontlines of climate change, and that youth in the Global South are at the forefront of this transformation.
Roots has worked with and trained thousands of emerging leaders and groups in regions including Latin America, the Middle East, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, South East Asia, and the Caribbean. Our programs are set up to help groups and leadership grow, develop networks, build power, improve well-being and resilience, and tackle threats of climate disinformation.
