Women for Climate Justice
2021 - 2022
This project provided 16 young women leaders in Colombia with the necessary tools to advance and support their different advocacy strategies for gender and climate justice in local and national government and cross-sectoral spheres.
The Women for Climate Justice Summit took place in the city of Bogota D.C. in February 2022 and also featured virtual sessions via streaming. Women from departments such as Atlántico, Nariño, Norte de Santander, Cauca, La Guajira, Caldas, Guainía, Antioquia, Chocó, Huila, Cundinamarca, among others, participated. The main goal of the meeting was to influence and advocate for the mainstreaming of gender issues in public policies on climate change, in addition to the construction of a route for the consolidation of the Women’s Network for Climate Justice.
