Climate Democracy Accelerator 2026

The Climate Democracy Accelerator (CDA) is a six-month, practice-oriented training and support program that prepares members to plan and implement an inclusive and participatory process for a just climate transition. Participants will develop a project to implement a participatory program focused on regenerative agriculture, renewable energy, and climate solutions addressing local communities. The program includes mentorship, resources, online sessions, and a funding grant to implement action plans.

Mentorship, step-by-step resources, interactive online tools, live sessions and workshops, participation in country-based peer groups, access to localized case studies, and a $10,000 USD implementation grant (with an additional $15,000 for the top five action plans).

Applicants must be from governmental institutions, civil society organizations, or non-governmental organizations.

Applicants are required to complete the online form via the apply link with a project proposal, description of the climate challenge, partnership experience, goals for the program, and how it addresses marginalized communities.
