Filling the Gender Gap in Climate Action

Gender norms in society can significantly influence the resources a person has access to, their role in the household or communities, and the impacts they may face as a result of climate change. The intersection between gender and climate change is clear, but many of the resources to learn and advocate around this topic are not accessible to people in the global south, especially women and LGBTIA+ folks. We want to make sure those that are most marginalized in society have information in their language that can give them the power to create climate solutions, to adapt to the impacts they are facing, and to create a more equal society in the process. There is no other program approaching this issue quite like EmpoderaClima, and we are proud to fill and shrink the gender gap with climate action and empowerment.

Advocacy

Once someone has access to information, they have to be able to use it. Our team has access to dialogues at the international level that can shape the way the world thinks about gender and climate and implements solutions that use a gender lens. We engage and work closely with international institutions such as the United Nations and the G20.
