'''The Compendium is a draft and first cut at mapping Climate Justice and Just Transition work focused in the Global South.'''
'''What is the Compendium?'''
The Compendium is a mapping listing organisations in the Global South working on climate justice and just transition. This mapping is searchable geographically by countries, regions and key themes / injustices. It is an open source tool designed to become more comprehensive over time.
The mapping was produced by the Climate Justice - Just Transition Donor Collaborative (CJ-JT) because many studies showed philanthropic funding was not reaching those on the front lines of injustice, especially those based in the Global South. The Compendium aims to redress this imbalance by helping foundations and advisors quickly find who is working on the ground.
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.
These statistics point to an urgent reality: philanthropy needs to be redesigned to support an intersectional approach to grantmaking that will permanently shift resources, and power, to those on the front lines, especially to historically marginalised and underrepresented groups and communities.
'''The Climate Justice – Just Transition Donor Collaborative explores how emerging CJ and JT efforts can increase socially just climate action.'''
'''How it was produced:'''
The Compendium 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 desktop-based research. 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.
Based on our existing resources we have provided the core information in four languages: English, Arabic, Spanish, French. In partnership with [https://www.climatecardinals.org/ Climate Cardinals] we are working to further provide multilingual translation for organisation descriptions and hope that as we continue to develop the Compendium we will be able to further identify and add Non-English organisations. This is important 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.
