About Gender Just Climate Solutions Awards
The Gender Just Climate Solutions Awards are granted every year to grassroots, community groups and nongovernmental organizations tackling the climate emergency while advancing gender equality. These solutions are leading community solutions and system-changing climate action that bring multiple social and environmental improvements. They contribute to raising the ambition to achieve the 1.5-degree target by 2030.
Three winners are selected by a diverse group of jury members from the Women and Gender Constituency (WGC) following an open and transparent process and are announced during an official, high-level ceremony at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP).
Winning solutions are showcased across three different project categories:
- Technical - gender-responsive climate solutions focusing on technologies, i.e. water, RE, food production or transformation, digitalization, waste reduction etc.
- Non-technical - gender-responsive climate solutions focusing on behavioral change, mutual learning, skills sharing, capacity strengthening etc.
- Transformational - gender-responsive climate solutions focusing on addressing governance, institutional / societal change etc.
