The Women and Gender Constituency (WGC) of the UNFCCC, in partnership with WECF, invites grassroots and gender-equality organizations to apply for the 2025 Gender Just Climate Solutions Awards. Now in its tenth year, this programme highlights initiatives that centre gender equality and women’s rights in climate action.
Who Can Apply
All non-governmental initiatives led by women or gender-non-conforming individuals, or those that demonstrably promote gender justice, are eligible. Projects must have been active for at least one year and fit one of the following categories:
• Technical, gender-responsive climate solutions focusing on water, renewable energy, food production or transformation, digitalization, or waste reduction.
• Non-technical approaches emphasizing behavioral change, skills-sharing, mutual learning or capacity strengthening.
• Transformational initiatives targeting governance, institutional reform or societal norms.
Selection Criteria
Submissions are evaluated on their contributions to women’s rights and gender equality, climate resilience and the ability to scale or transfer solutions. Priority is given to women- and gender-non-conforming-led projects that ensure equal access to benefits, reduce burdens on women, and strengthen food security or livelihoods without adding uncompensated labour.
Awards
• Three top winners (one per category) each receive €5,000 and travel support for one representative to attend the Awards Ceremony at COP30 in Belém, Brazil (subject to UNFCCC quotas).
• Award winners participate in a capacity-building workshop with past laureates to scale their impact and expand networks.
• Up to twelve additional nominees will be featured in the official Awards publication (available in four languages) and showcased at COP30.
