Promoting Climate Action for Gender Justice

About this project

With only eight years left to deliver on the promise of the SDGs, increasing women’s leadership and decision-making power in the climate space is urgently needed. Research shows that when women are adequately represented, there is a positive impact on sustainable natural resource management and climate change adaptation activities, including setting aside protected land areas and ratifying multilateral environmental agreements. The nexus between climate and gender equality is receiving rightly renewed attention and focus on the international level. Both the Generation Equality Forum and the 66th session of the Commission on the Status of Women, which this year considered the theme of gender equality in the context of climate change, are elevating the intersections and the urgency of tackling the gender dimensions of climate. We must keep this momentum going and keep pushing for greater recognition, participation, and funding in the global climate action movement for girls and women everywhere. The project will be used to promote actions to address climate change and Gender Justice using the side-by-side Network. The network of religious leaders will be trained and equipped with knowledge and tools to address climate change through the gender lens, with their congregations and community at large.
