Deadline: the 30th of July, 2023 | Climate Solutions Awards for Gender Equality in 2023 (up to €5,000)
The Gender Just Climate Solutions Awards 2023 are now accepting applications. The Women & Gender Constituency (WGC) introduced the first round of the Gender-Just Climate Solutions Awards in 2015. These honors are intended to highlight practical solutions for a more equitable, just, and healthy Earth. Women-run energy cooperatives in Germany, female-run “energy shop” projects in Mozambique, and human rights-based relocation planning in the Carteret Islands are just a few of the past initiatives to receive recognition.

Three main project types each have winning initiatives:
Non-technical climate solutions with a focus on women or gender (for example, in the areas of efficiency, changing consumer habits, building capacity, etc.).
Women’s or gender-focused technical climate solutions, such as those in the fields of renewable energy, energy efficiency, and adaption technologies, etc.
activities to transform the climate from a women’s or gender viewpoint (such as those that address governance, institutional reform, and societal change, etc.)
Awards
The ‘Awardees’ will be divided into two categories:
There will be three top Award Winners, one for each kind of project. Each of these three winners will receive a prize of €5,000, travel expenses for one representative to the Awards Ceremony at UNFCCC climate conferences (COPs), and mentoring from the Women and Gender Constituency members.
The Award Winners are invited to a capacity-building workshop with the Gender Just Climate Solutions Award Winners during COPs. The workshops, which are run in conjunction with the Climate Technology Centre & Network (CTCN), offer training for scaling up solutions, networking, and sharing knowledge and experience.
Up to 30 more Runners-Up (Honorees) will be acknowledged on the WGC website as well as in a full-color magazine that will be displayed at a COPs high-level international awards ceremony.
Eligibility
- Applications are encouraged from all global activist, grassroots, and women-led organizations and organisations involved in climate change-related concerns.
- Initiatives from the local or federal governments cannot be taken into consideration; only non-governmental initiatives are acceptable.
- Either the project or activity should already be finished, or it should already be underway.
- The initiative must fall under one of the three categories for project awards.
Criteria
- The following criteria will be used to evaluate initiatives’ effects on gender equality, resilience, and sustainability. Although the organizers point out that not all projects will be in a position or stage to satisfy all requirement, winning initiatives should ideally work across all of the major result areas.
- Priority will be given to women-driven efforts due to existing disparities and a shortage of resources accessible globally, although programs do not necessarily need to be led by women to be gender just.
Women’s rights and gender equality are the first result area.
- Equal access to benefits is provided for men, women, and children.
- Aims to reduce women’s workload and/or avoids adding new duties (such greater responsibility for managing natural resources or unpaid caregiving).
- Empowers women in as many ways as possible, including improved mobility and accessibility, increased food and livelihood security, better health, and access to clean water.
- Encourages local women, men, women’s groups, cooperatives, and communities to participate in decision-making to advance women’s democratic rights and participation.
Climate Resilience, Result Area 2
locally directed and/or locally motivated (appropriately decentralized).
assures low resource input and self-sufficiency (safe, economical, and sustainable).
contributes to reducing emissions, adapting to climate change, or all three (the project is sustainable).
Third Result Area Increasing and transferring
Results can be disseminated, increased, and replicated (so they don’t only help one person).
demonstrates connections to broad concerns such (but not limited to) peacebuilding, resource management, food security, and/or health, water, and sanitation.
