Le Compendium est une ébauche et une première version de la cartographie des travaux sur la justice climatique et la transition juste axés sur les pays du Sud.

Pourquoi nous l'avons fait :

Philanthropic funding has lagged in supporting just and equitable solutions being put forward by those on the front lines of injustice, especially historically marginalised groups such as women, Indigenous Peoples, people of colour, youth, people with disabilities and those based in the Global South. This work was not being funded at scale.

Currently, less than 2% of global philanthropy goes toward supporting organisations working on climate mitigation, with approximately 0.5% going to environmental initiatives in the Global South (One Earth). Of the philanthropy that is directed to climate, 95% of it is directed to white and overwhelmingly male-led climate advocacy groups (Solutions Project) & (Philanthropic Initiative for Racial Justice).

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.

The Compendium is a work in progress and is only an initial assessment intended as a start. Our aim is that by gathering this information and creating this database as a Wiki it will become an open-source and participatory effort to maintain up-to-date knowledge regarding CJ-JT work globally with a focus on Global South.

We recognize that this work will always be incomplete, and that there are many more organisations that are not in this mapping as well as many significant individuals who have been doing this work for a very long time that we have not included.

We aim to discuss with the field how we can better represent Indigenous Peoples, communities and tribes and bring in the campaigns and movements that are represented in other mappings (such as the Environmental Justice Atlas), particularly those led by Indigenous Peoples and individuals who are leading resistance.
