This project empowers youth and women in Mozambique to lead climate justice and resilience. Through legal literacy, community action, and ecosystem restoration, vulnerable families gain tools to defend land rights, adapt to climate shocks, and build sustainable livelihoods. By combining grassroots leadership with advocacy, the project transforms exclusion into resilience and justice.
Mozambique faces intensifying climate shocks cyclones, droughts, soil loss, and displacement from extractive industries. Rural youth and women lack access to legal protection, climate literacy, and participation in decision-making. Without intervention, exclusion deepens, ecosystems degrade, and families remain vulnerable to exploitation and environmental loss.
AAAJC trains youth and women as paralegals and facilitators, equipping them with legal tools and climate literacy. Through community action plans, cultural memory projects, and advocacy dialogues, they restore ecosystems, defend land rights, and engage decision-makers. This grassroots model transforms vulnerability into organized power and builds resilience from the ground up.
Over five years, AAAJC will expand to 10 provinces, training 1,000+ facilitators and supporting 100+ communities. Communities will gain lasting access to legal protection, climate education, and participatory governance. Youth and women will lead inclusive dialogues, safeguard ecosystems, and influence national climate policies. This project builds enduring structures of justice, resilience, and sustainability.
