From Wednesday, June 30 through today, July 2, civil society, governments, and private sector actors have been gathering to mobilize around bold commitments to gender equality, including feminist action for climate justice.
As part of Generation Equality Forum, we are seeing new investments, policy changes and advocacy commitments, all being launched to advance gender justice in alignment with the Global Acceleration Plan.
WEDO is thrilled to share our six commitments to Feminist Action for Climate Justice, from founding an alliance to focus on data at the environment-gender intersection, initiating a scale fund for gender-just climate solutions, and continuing to advocate for feminist foreign policy. We will share more on each of these individual commitments in the coming weeks – stay tuned!

Action for SRHR and Climate Justice
Along with partners, we commit to collective action and joint advocacy at the nexus of gender equality, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and climate justice. Enhancing collaboration for joint advocacy at this nexus can help advance mutual goals of effective climate action, gender equality, and girls’ and women’s health and rights.
