Deadline: September 10, 2018

The Women & Gender Constituency (WGC) is inviting applications for the 2018 Gender Just Climate Solutions Awards. In 2015, the WGC launched it’s first ‘Gender-Just Climate Solutions’ Awards. These awards aim to showcase real solutions for a more just, equal and healthy planet. Previous initiatives recognized have included women-owned and operated energy cooperatives in Germany, female entrepreneurial “energy shop” initiatives in Mozambique, and human rights based relocation planning in the Carteret Islands.

The Women and Gender Constituency (WGC) is one of the nine stakeholder groups of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Established in 2009, the WGC now consists of 20 women’s and environmental civil society organizations, who are working to ensure that women’s voices and their rights are embedded in all processes and results of the UNFCCC framework, for a sustainable and just future, so that gender equality and women’s human rights are central to the ongoing discussions.

Categories

Winning initiatives are showcased across three categories:

  • Technical climate solutions with a women or gender perspective (e.g. in area of renewables, energy or adaptation technologies etc.)
  • Non-technical climate solutions with a women or gender perspective (e.g. in area of efficiency, consumption changes, resilience and capacity building etc.)
  • Transformational climate initiatives with a women or gender perspective (e.g. addressing governance, institutional / societal change etc.)

Award

  • Three top Award Winners will be identified, one per category. These three winners will each receive a Seed Grant of 2000 Euros; travel for one representative to attend the Awards Ceremony held at COP24 in Katowice, Poland this December 2018; and 1-year of mentorship activities from the members of the Women and Gender Constituency (see here for details);
  • The Award Winners are invited to a capacity building workshop during COP24 with the previous award winners of the Gender Just Climate Solutions 2015-2017. The workshop is organized together with Climate Technology Centre & Network (CTCN) and it includes training to up-scale their solutions, share their experience and expertise with each other, as well as to network;
  • Up to 30 additional Runners-Up will be featured in a full color-publication which will be showcased in a high-level international awards ceremony at COP24, as well as be highlighted on the WGC website.

Eligibility

  • All types of activist, grassroots and women-led organizations and groups working on issues related to climate change are encouraged to apply;
  • Only non-governmental initiatives are eligible (local or national government initiatives cannot be considered);
  • The activity/initiative should either already have been completed or should be in current operation;
  • The initiative must fit within one of the 3 award categories.

Application

Apply for the award in French or in Spanish
