IMPACT

The Women and Gender Constituency knows that the solutions to the climate crisis are already here, built every day by women, gender-diverse people, and frontline communities. What is missing is the recognition, resources, and political will to scale them up.
Since 2015, the Gender Just Climate Solutions Awards have celebrated and amplified these transformative, locally-driven initiatives. From renewable energy projects led by women in rural communities, to collective land and water stewardship, to feminist climate advocacy reshaping policy, these solutions prove that climate action can advance gender equality, strengthen democracy, and protect our planet.
Each year, three winning solutions and more than a dozen additional honorees are highlighted in our global publication and showcased at the UN Climate Negotiations. Over 150 initiatives from every region of the world are now featured in our searchable online directory, creating a living archive of feminist innovation and leadership.
The program is more than an award. It is a platform for movement-building. It connects grassroots leaders with global policymakers, shifts power to those most impacted, and demonstrates that gender-just approaches are not only possible but essential for a liveable future.
Explore the directory, meet the awardees, and be inspired to demand climate policies that put care, justice, and rights at the center of solutions.
