Purpose

This project supports women and men in developing countries as beneficiaries of climate-resilient and nature-positive development, by strengthening of knowledge and capacity of Southern and Northern civil society and Indigenous peoples organizations to design and implement gender-responsive, nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation projects in the world’s most vulnerable regions. These regions include Sub-Saharan Africa, small island developing states, and least developed countries. The project provides training in nature-based climate solutions project design, implementation, and management through online courses and other knowledge sharing and networking platforms. It will directly benefit an estimated five hundred users of the project website, 300 users of the online course from 25 countries (50% of which are in the global south), and 300 participants at in-person, hybrid or virtual networking/conferences.
