'''What is the Climate Justice Map?'''
The mapping was produced by the Climate Justice - Just Transition Donor Collaborative (CJ-JT) because many studies showed<sup>1</sup> philanthropic funding was not reaching those on the front lines of injustice, especially those based in the Global South. The Climate Justice Map aims to redress this imbalance by helping foundations and advisors quickly find who is working on the ground.
The Climate Justice Map is a [https://climatejusticemap.org/index.php/Climate_Justice_Map mapping] showing organisations and networks based in the Global South working on climate justice and just transition. This mapping was produced by the [https://climatejusticecollab.org/cjjt-map/ Climate Justice - Just Transition Donor Collaborative (CJ-JT)], an initiative working to shift power and philanthropic resources to those on the frontlines of climate injustice who do not yet have their due share of voice in policy-making and whose efforts are critically under-resourced.
The mapping highlights, wherever possible, work led by women, people of colour, youth, historically marginalised groups, and those with disabilities. These groups are playing a leading role in putting forward just and equitable solutions despite having received the least resources and contributed very little to climate change.
The CJ Map is a unique tool that includes over 1,600+ organisations and networks. It is in the form of an open-source Wiki with the core information available in four languages: Arabic, English, French and Spanish.

The Climate Justice Map is based on many sources of information, including climate justice and just transition networks funded by philanthropy, information by experts working in the field as well as All the organisations listed have been given the opportunity to review the information we have included accurately captures their work and is up to date.
The Climate Justice Map is based on many sources of information, including climate justice and just transition networks funded by philanthropy, information by experts working in the field as well as from desktop based research. Entries have also been provided by the [https://climatejusticecollab.org/fellowship-program/ CJ-JT Donor Collaborative Climate JEDIs - Fellows] working to enhance justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in climate spaces.
The CJ-Map has been sourced from the publicly available information using the description which organisations use to describe themselves and their own focus area and operations. Each organisation featured has been given the opportunity to check their entry. We are grateful to the work of [https://www.climatecardinals.org/ Climate Cardinals] for their translation services. This is an important partnership of ours because most climate justice literature and climate campaigning is written and accessible entirely in English which results in systematic barriers to accessing information on climate change.<sup>2</sup>

'''Why a Wiki?'''
Wiki pages are open-access and freely available. As mappings by philanthropy are typically not shared with the field, the Climate Justice Map is deliberately open source with an intent to break down the power dynamics inherent in mapping and consultancy processes with an aim to shift philanthropy away from gatekeeping, secrecy and ad hoc funding.
Wiki pages are collaborative. We hope to continue adding to the organisations included and invite you to add the organisations and networks you know working on climate justice and just transition to help maintain up-to-date information for philanthropy and the field.
'''We recognise the Climate Justice Map is a work in progress and we welcome your feedback and additional entries to make the Wiki more comprehensive. Please contact us using the [https://climatejusticecollab.org/contact-us/ form via our website].'''
