Women and girls around the world are demanding and creating systemic change and a sustainable future for all. We need collective power to attain a just future – we need you.
As the world continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, war and conflict, and widespread climate and environmental crises – all which have disproportionate impacts on women, girls, and gender-diverse people – a shift to a new paradigm is urgently required.
The Feminist Action Nexus for Economic and Climate Justice (“Action Nexus”) is an initiative born out of the Generation Equality Forum (GEF) that promotes the necessary transformation away from the fossil-fuel capitalism, neoliberalism, patriarchy and white supremacy that drive both the climate crisis and rampant inequality.

The Generation Equality Forum process resulted in the creation of “Action Coalitions” organized around six core themes; in 2021, a group of feminist civil society activists working to achieve global climate and economic justice came together at the intersection of two of these Action Coalitions. Thus, the “Action Nexus” was born, and is spearheaded by the co-leads of the Climate Justice Action Coalition (WEDO, Pan African Climate Justice Alliance) and two allied organizations from the Economic Justice & Rights Action Coalition (FEMNET, Women’s Working Group on Financing for Development).
