The Women and Gender Constituency of UNFCCC and other women, gender and human rights advocates have been actively pushing world leaders to ensure a just outcome, one which works for people and the planet, and which responds to injustice among and within countries in relation to climate impacts and resilience.

We know the solutions to a more sustainable future already exist- and it’s time to showcase them far and wide, and demand change.

After the Paris Agreement and as world leaders meet at COP22 this November, we must act to highlight the importance of gender equality, women rights and women’s contribution to climate solutions.

The Gender Just Climate Solutions Award will make gender responsive and equitable solutions visible at the “COP of action”, the COP22 in Marrakech and central to just climate action all over the world! We are asking you to describe your women & gender initiative for climate solutions, in one of three categories:

  • Technical climate solutionswith a women or gender perspective (e.g. in area of renewables, water-saving adaptation technologies etc.)
  • Non-technical climate solutionswith a women or gender perspective (e.g. in area of efficiency, consumption changes etc.)
  • Transformation climate initiativeswith a women or gender perspective (e.g. addressing governance, institutional change, planning processes etc.)

The 3 award winners, each per category, receive 1000 Euros as award and will be showcased at the Gender Just Climate Solutions Exhibition at the UNFCCC negotiations in COP 22 in Marrakech, Morocco. Additionally, the winners will benefit from a 1-year-mentoring programme of the Women and Gender Constituency. 10 nominees per category will be published in the Gender Just Climate Solutions Publication.
