Climate Gender Equity Fund (CGEF)

There is an ever-growing body of evidence that demonstrates the critical role women play in climate change mitigation and adaptation – women are innovators, leaders, entrepreneurs, employees, and customers in climate-related fields. Women and girls, especially from underrepresented and marginalised groups, are also disproportionately affected by natural and climate disasters given that they represent the majority of the world’s poor and are proportionally more dependent upon threatened natural resources.
