Women and girls, especially in the Global South, are disproportionately affected by #climatechange, and they are also the people least responsible for environmental damage. Initiatives like the Global Alliance for Green and Gender Action (GAGGA) are pushing for increased resourcing of women-led climate solutions. Within GAGGA, Mama Cash and other women’s funds are developing critical insights into #womensrights and #environmentaljustice in the local contexts where they work. Together, we are building the knowledge base that funders can use to support local, grassroots, gender and climate justice solutions. Learn more about how women’s funds are strengthening environmental justice work in GAGGA's series of briefs for funders here: https://lnkd.in/ed5Ri3x6
