Dear Friends and Colleagues,
In partnership with the Women and Gender Constituency of the UN climate change negotiations (UNFCCC), and Women in Europe for a Common Future (WECF), WEDO is very pleased to invite you to participate in the ‘Gender Just Climate Solutions Awards‘ initiative for the upcoming UN climate negotiations (COP21) in Paris!
The Constituency 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.
As world leaders meet at COP21 this December, we must act to build momentum and 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 COP21 in Paris and central to just climate action!
WE WANT YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS!
We are asking you to describe your women & gender initiative for climate solutions, in one of three categories:
The 3 award winners, each per category, receive 1.000 USD as award and will be showcased at the Gender Just Climate Solutions Exhibition at the Climate Generations Area of the UNFCCC in COP 21/CMP 11 in Paris. 10 nominees per category will be published in the Gender Just Climate Solutions Publication.

In Solidarity, WEDO
