The Climate Democracy Accelerator is a six-month training and grant program for government and civil society leaders to design and implement participatory climate policy projects focused on regenerative agriculture and renewable energy.

The Climate Democracy Accelerator (CDA) was created to empower government and civil society leaders to launch participatory programs that shape climate policy, with a particular emphasis on regenerative agriculture, renewable energy, and just transitions. Since its inception in 2023, the CDA has supported over 50 climate action and citizen engagement programs worldwide, demonstrating the impact of inclusive, community-driven approaches to climate solutions.

The program focuses on projects that expand public participation in climate policy, prioritizing renewable energy and regenerative agriculture to ensure equitable and community-responsive solutions. Participants will receive step-by-step resources, live sessions, online courses, workshops, and access to a dedicated mentor, as well as localized case studies and peer group collaboration facilitated by in-country partners.

All selected participants receive a $10,000 USD implementation grant to support their participatory climate project, and the top six action plans in each cohort will receive an additional $15,000 award.

The six-month program runs from March to August 2027, with participants expected to dedicate time to training, project development, and peer learning, followed by a year-long implementation phase for their action plans.

Eligible applicants include leaders from governmental institutions, civil society organizations, and non-governmental organizations. While priority is given to applicants from Brazil, Indonesia, India, and Mexico, additional spots are available for participants from other countries worldwide, especially in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
