Since 2022, Global Platform (GP) Bangladesh has cultivated a thriving youth-led movement for climate justice under ActionAid’s "Fund Our Future" Campaign. Arranged twice annually in solidarity with Fridays For Future, these global climate strikes have mobilized over 22,000 young activists over the past three years to ensure that youth-led activism for just transition under climate justice agenda can well resonate with diverse audiences, policy makers, transcending boundaries for systemic socio-economic change.
In 2025, the movement expanded significantly, in April and November strike engaged around 5,000 climate activists across 26 districts, engaging 34 youth-led organisations, 9 youth hubs of partner areas. Additionally, the September Week of Actions involved around thousand participants focusing on just energy transition. Through harnessing the power of collective actions through a series of impactful activities like boat rallies in coastal regions, street dramas, folk songs, theatres and graffiti etc. young climate leaders have continued pressurized financial institutions to shift investments away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy and agroecology.
This movement has slowly but surely empowered the youths across the country to hold both corporations and governments accountable for their role in climate destruction through advocating for a just and equitable green transition.
