Women and girls are bearing the brunt of the climate crisis in the lower-income countries, and yet are in the frontlines of fighting #ClimateChange. Unfortunately, only a small % of global climate finance prioritises #GenderEquality and locally led actions, and women’s organizations are not being funded enough for their transformative work in #ClimateAdaptation. NDF has provided a grant of EUR 6 million to the #CRPP, which aims to strengthen climate resilience in #AsiaPacifi...c. Given NDF’s strong focus on gender equality, one third of the NDF grant goes to CRPP’s dedicated window on #Gender, which aims to finance women-led projects or projects that benefit women in the communities. 🧡 “CRPP’s gender window is a response to try to address the lack of funding to gender equality. I think that often there’s an assumption that if we are working on climate adaptation, it is automatically inclusive or has direct benefits to women, but that’s not always the case. The gender window is a vehicle of being intentional in putting financial resources to grassroots women’s hands,” says Zonibel Woods, Senior Social Development Specialist from the Asian Development Bankan Development Bank (ADB).
