Strengthening & Unifying Gender and Environmental Justice Movements
The Global Alliance for Green & Gender Action (GAGGA) connects and supports gender and environmental justice community-based organisations, NGOs and funds. All GAGGA actors work engage in multi-level, cross-movement collaborations to connect and strengthen movements to achieve environmental and climate justice with an emphasis on participatory processes and shared leadership.
Accompaniment
GAGGA (members) provide community-based gender and environmental justice groups with grants and mutual skills strengthening through thematic workshops, access to information, and exchanges with other organisations.
Lobby and advocacy
GAGGA members and allies carry out advocacy work at the local, national, regional and global levels. GAGGA actors advocate for women’s, girls’, and trans, intersex and non-binary people’s rights, climate and environmental justice, and equitable access to and use of natural resources. They oppose extractivist industry actors and the large infrastructure projects they depend on.
