Organized by
Launched in 2007, the Global Gender and Climate Alliance works to ensure that climate change policies, decision-making, and initiatives at the global, regional and national levels are gender responsive which is critical to solving the climate crisis.
GGCA brings a human face to climate change decision–making and initiatives to integrate a gender perspective into policy and decision making, ensure that financing mechanisms on mitigation and adaptation address the needs of poor women and men equitably, build capacity at all levels to design and implement gender-responsive climate change policies, strategies and programmes, and share practical tools, information, and methodologies to facilitate the integration of gender into policy and programming.
