GAGGA is pleased to have made significant progress in 2024 in strengthening communities and movements of women, girls and intersex, trans and non-binary people, and in increasing visibility of their work. As our new and improved website shows, women in countless communities worldwide are developing and implementing gender-just climate solutions. GAGGA partners are at the forefront of powerful, groundbreaking collaborations between feminist, climate and environmental justice organisations around the world. Together, they are co-organising vibrant initiatives and spaces, such as the Third Annual Women’s Climate Assembly within the African People’s Counter COP, to build solidarity and collectively make their voices heard.
GAGGA has made significant headway in strengthening expertise and advocacy for gender-just climate finance. Women Environmental Human Rights Defenders (WEHRDs) are collectively raising their voices and sending a clear message to funders to re-direct climate finance away from false climate solutions and to women’s funds and environmental justice funds. In key spaces, including CSW68 and the UNFCCC COP29 in Azerbaijan, GAGGA’s advocacy has helped expand awareness among key donors about the effectiveness of gender-just, locally-led action, particularly adaptation, and the urgent need for more accessible and transparent climate finance and funding.
