N:OW for Net-Zero<\/strong> is a project of FES<\/strong>. The following are principles that FES staff, colleagues, and affiliates are expected to adhere to. When someone new enters the room, these principles are meant to guide discussions and outcomes.<\/p>\n

We believe that youth are the best agents of change, and that\u2019s why we are investing in them. Youth are powerful, passionate, and competent, and the adult-centric world continuously underestimates and ignores the demands of youth.\u00a0 We are passionate about ensuring that youth are empowered and supported to take action and carry these experiences with them into their personal and professional lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”We\u2019re in a climate crisis, and we act like it.” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

We are at a nexus point where the actions that we take now greatly impact if we\u2019re able to make it under the 1.5 degree mark. Climate change may not be the most important issue in every context, but it certainly is the most urgent, as failure to address the climate crisis heavily impacts our ability to address other inequalities and injustices. Everything we do is centred around finding inclusive and impactful solutions to take action against the climate crisis while supporting the communities the most positioned to tackle it. Our decision making is research driven and outcomes-based, and our process ensures we are respectful of community voices. We focus on organizations that have or can create a strong base of support and are action-oriented.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Relationships of trust and mutual respect.” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

We seek to create, nurture, and maintain long-term supportive relationships, and we are committed to collaborating with existing community partners and helping them amplify their impact.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Equity and accessibility.” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

We seek to support innovative work that takes bold climate action and supports communities most deeply affected by the climate crisis.\u00a0 To do so, we are committed to making our processes as equitable and accessible as possible through clarity and transparency by demystifying climate jargon and language, providing consistent and clear communication within capacity, and ensuring we accommodate folks that may not be able-bodied, speak other languages than English, and experience barriers to climate work. We will review our strategies regularly to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the community we serve.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Responsibility and reciprocity.” open=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

We encourage work that brings underrepresented communities, particularly Indigenous communities, to the forefront of the climate movement and defends communities whose health and livelihoods are threatened by environmental exploitation. We are committed to aligning ourselves with the Calls to Action outlined by the Truth & Reconciliation Commission.<\/p>\n

    FES supports a diverse and broad range of organizations and individuals, all within the mission to empower youth to tackle the climate crisis. As a registered charity, we need to ensure that our grants go to projects that are aligned with FES\u2019 CRA Purposes:<\/p>\n

    1. To educate and increase the public\u2019s awareness and understanding of the environment and its importance by offering conferences, workshops, and written material on the topic of sustainable development.<\/li>\n
    2. To protect the environment for the benefit of the public by undertaking youth community projects designed to promote sustainable development.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
