Launched in 2024 by the Belmopan City Council with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Youth Climate Action Fund, BYCAF removes the barriers young people face when turning climate ideas into action. In its first year the program opened a city-wide call, reviewed dozens of proposals, and awarded eight grants of up to B $10,000 each. Today it continues to mentor student teams and showcase their impact across Belmopan.

Selection committee funded 8 projects, each receiving mentorship and up to B $10 000.
