Coalitions
Powerful coalitions are required to transform societies. If we are to shift power, money, and minds, we must continue to invest in and expand existing and strategic coalitions and build and fund new coalitions powerful enough to challenge and change the status quo. Only by working together can we transform the global order.
WEDO Co-led Global Advocacy Collectives
We convene, or co-convene, coalitions of aligned organizations, feminist leaders, and government representatives from around the world to advocate for policies that address different elements of the gender and environmental justice ecosystem.
We help convene the WGC — a platform for civil society and non-governmental organizations in women’s rights, gender justice, and environmental protection ecosystem to influence the annual conferences and help develop the UNFCCC. The constituency also ensures the participation and representation of these organizations.
The WMG is responsible for facilitating women’s civil society input into the policy space provided by the United Nations. It is self-organized and open to all interested organizations working to promote human rights-based sustainable development with a focus on women’s human rights, women’s empowerment, and gender equality.
Convened by WEDO and ActionAid, the WGSG is one of the 15 groups coordinated under the Stakeholder Engagement Mechanism to leverage the convening and advocacy powers of the Major Groups and other Stakeholders for the integration of disaster risk reduction into the broader 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
WEDO Co-Led Action Collectives
A care-centered world includes care for all. And it requires that we create change in every level of society — a gender-just climate transition, a gender-just energy transition, and a gender-just economy. We co-lead collectives to bring everyone with us into a just, equitable, healthy, and sustainable future.
Around the world, decision-makers are often unaware of or inadequately using existing data at the intersection of gender and environment. GEDA compiles, curates, and places this information into the hands of decision-makers working to advance climate- and gender-just environmental policy.
