May 2018 - Yemen is currently the world’s largest humanitarian crisis according to the United Nations, with 22.2 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, including 11.3 million that require immediate life-saving assistance.

Project activities include: (1) leveraging the United Nations (UN) platform to build international support for the strategy of the UN Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance; (2) shaping the international narrative of private finance towards the need for every financial decision to take climate change into account; (3) working with Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs), UN entities, and permanent missions to develop a clear understanding of the barriers to low-carbon, climate resilient investment in developing countries; (4) working with MDBs, UN entities, and the Conference of Parties (COP) Presidency on a common approach to aligning financial flows with the Paris Agreement; (5) working with UN entities, governments, the private sector, and civil society to deliver on the mandate of the high-level event on Financing for Development in the era of COVID-19 and beyond; (6) identifying solutions and strengthening commitments to mobilize climate finance, particularly for those interventions that reduce poverty and inequalities, with an emphasis on gender-based inequalities.

The project also aims to challenge discriminatory gender norms by addressing the root causes of the unequal distribution of care work placed on women in Vietnam. At the national level, this project aims to influence the provision of public services, infrastructure, childcare and social protection policies.

The objective of the project is to support directly 160,000 (47 %) women and 65,000 (19 %) young women, in all their diversity, 70,000 (21 %) men and 42,500 (13 %) young men who are dependent on coastal and marine resources, as well as decision-makers, such as local, regional and national authorities, for their power to influence decisions about conservation.

The project works with key national government agencies, including the Department of Trade and Industry, local governments and the private sector to make business development programs and services more environmentally sustainable and responsive to the needs of women entrepreneurs.

The organization will conduct consultations with key stakeholders, will develop and implement a framework to address systemic barriers within municipal forces, and will participate and support the work of national organizations and other sexual assault centers in Canada to address systemic change within the RCMP’s response to sexual violence.

The area has significant historical meaning to the Metis of the NWT as it is the location that our Patriarch Francois Beaulieu (b. 1771) established himself and began trading in salt he gathered from the natural salt plains located 20 kms further south of the area (now located in Wood Buffalo National Park). The recreation area is accessible year around via a 10km all weather gravel road connecting to NWT Highway #5.
