How our grantee-partners are advancing climate justice
We’re excited to share the stories of some amazing feminist organisations that are making a real difference in advancing climate justice. Here you’ll find the stories of our grantee-partners, shared with us by those who participated in the 2024 UN Climate Change Conference.
These stories show us how communities most impacted by climate change are also the ones implementing and leading the solutions with lasting impact.
This is why Mama Cash is calling on governments and philanthropic funders to ensure more climate finance is directed to the local feminist movements and organisations on the frontlines of the climate crisis. You can read more about the work of our grantee-partners at the intersection of gender and climate justice and our recommendations to funders here.
