“Observing the activities of young people, I notice that they are often deprived of support, especially financial. I would like to offer them all a grant fund. Any youth group, even an informal one, that would like to organize a happening, training, or information campaign in their local area can turn to us. The regulations are available on our website. We will provide grants with minimal formalities, ranging from one thousand to five thousand zlotys, because young people are the best ambassadors for climate issues. They will help us effectively convince society that we must care for the Earth, and they will keep us politicians in check,” said the Mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, during the inauguration of the Common Poland Movement.

“The Common Poland Movement, whose inauguration was attended by the Mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, focuses on youth and their role in promoting climate action. Trzaskowski announced a new grant program aimed at supporting youth initiatives.

The program will offer grants ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 PLN to support activities such as local happenings, training sessions, and information campaigns organized by youth groups. The Mayor emphasized that the application process will be streamlined to ensure minimal bureaucracy.

Trzaskowski highlighted the crucial role of young people in raising awareness about climate change and advocating for environmental protection. He expressed his belief that youth are the most effective communicators on climate issues and can help mobilize public support for climate action. Furthermore, he acknowledged that young people can serve as a vital watchdog, holding politicians accountable for their environmental commitments.

The inauguration of the Common Poland Movement marks a significant step towards empowering young people and fostering their engagement in addressing the climate crisis. The grant program is expected to stimulate a wide range of youth-led environmental projects across the country.
