Gender Just Climate Solutions 2024 (9th edition)

Sustainable and gender-just solutions to the climate crisis already exist on the ground and many of them are women-led. This is why each year during COP gatherings, WECF and the Women and Gender Constituency organise the Gender Just Climate Solutions Awards. Through the Awards, we promote and support outstanding projects that provide grassroots climate solutions, have women leadership and promote gender equality. The Awards comprise three categories:

Technical Solutions
Non-Technical Solutions
Transformational Solutions

Awardees receive a monetary prize of 5000 Euros and can join a mentoring and skills training programme to build further capacity and allow for the scaling up of good practices. Additionally, by becoming part of our global network, awardees will be able to connect to other, international organisations and bring their message to the forefront of global climate change discourse.✨

Spotlight on SWOP SIS

One standout initiative among this year’s awardees is SWOP SIS, a feminist fashion recycling project based in Australia. This innovative digital platform empowers women to swap clothing items through a shared community wardrobe, reducing textile waste and promoting sustainable fashion. With events like “Dress to Express,” which feature mentorship programs, workshops, and fashion shows, SWOP SIS fosters economic independence and builds confidence among women while championing eco-conscious habits. It’s a shining example of how grassroots efforts can drive both environmental and social change.
