Women Delegates Fund
WEDO has long recognized and advocated that women’s leadership and equal participation in climate change decision-making is fundamental to just policies that reflect and respond to the needs of the global community. Our commitment to advancing and supporting women’s participation through the Women Delegates Fund (WDF) continues this year, in partnership with the Governments of Canada, Scotland and Australia, providing support to an incredible cohort of women delegates.
This weekend, we hosted our traditional WDF “Night School” for these delegates to support preparation for the upcoming meeting and to facilitate a fully simulated negotiations session—building skills in drafting text, coordinating positions and building consensus.
