This project aims to address gender inequality and achieve environmental justice by empowering environmental, climate, and women’s rights movements and groups in developing countries. It seeks to influence key decision-makers (governments, investors and donors) to take urgent action to divest from fossil fuel industries, defend critical ecosystems, and support inclusive, sustainable and gender-just climate solutions. The Global Alliance for Green and Gender Action, led by the Fondo Centroamericano de Mujeres, a women’s fund working in Central America in collaboration with Both ENDS, a global environmental justice NGO, and Mama Cash, a women’s fund working internationally implements this project.

Project activities include: (1) strengthening the capacities of women-led Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) in the Global South to lead lobbying and advocacy activities for gender-just climate solutions; (2) linking climate, environmental and women’s rights movements across local and national levels in selected countries, and regionally and internationally; and (3) improving engagement of women-led CBOs, activists, and women environmental and human right’s defenders in decision-making on climate policy, investments, and donor funding for inclusive and gender-just climate and environmental actions.

The project’s directly benefits women, women-led CBOs, and women and environmental rights defenders from developing countries eligible for international assistance in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific who are working towards advancing the gender-just climate solutions. The Project ultimately benefits 100 to 150 CBOs from Indigenous, rural, marginalized and vulnerable communities.

The National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Global Network is a multi-donor, multi-country initiative that aims to advance national adaptation planning and action in developing countries. The Secretariat of the Network is hosted by IISD. The proposed project, to be delivered through the NAP Global Network, aims to support selected countries to improve governance of climate change adaptation through more effective, gender-responsive, and socially inclusive NAP processes, with a focus SIDS, LDCs, and Sub-Saharan African countries. Activities will improve capacities, enhance participation of stakeholders, and increase awareness and recognition of the importance of effective, gender-responsive, and socially inclusive NAP processes. By improving governance of adaptation, the initiative will contribute to reduced vulnerability to climate change for people of all genders and social groups in the target countries, which is a prerequisite for reducing poverty and achieving sustainable development.

This project aims to improve low carbon, climate resilent economies in rural areas of Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe for enhanced well-being of communities, especially women, girls, and other vulnerable groups. The project will use Nature-based Solutions coupled with landscape level restoration as a solution to increasing threats to livelihoods and food security that make a key contribution to climate change adaptation. This project will contribute to restoring ecological functionality and enhancing human well-being in rural areas and increase the ability of targeted landscapes to absorb biophysical shocks and stresses caused by increased climate change.

Project activities include : (1) Gender responsive Nature-based Solutions experimentation-innovation-learning cycles completed with women, girls, and other vulnerable groups; (2) Facilitation of water efficient and nature positive agriculture; and (3) Gender-responsive awareness and advocay campaings carried out on inclusive community and landscape governance, relevant policies, and role of women in biodiversity conservation and landscape governance.
