Building a Global Network of Woman Climate Leaders

Networking and the exchange of knowledge makes any movement stronger. Our four grants to the Huairou Commission enable information sharing between women in Kenya and India who work at the forefront of climate resilience. Working with existing network partners in India (ORRISSA) and Kenya (Shibuye Community Health Workers), the Huairou Commission builds leadership skills, inclusion in climate change planning, and helps women secure funding for grassroots initiatives through a unique community-driven climate finance model.

Huairou Commission is also a major partner in the Frontline Funds Accelerator, a collaboration among Slum Dwellers International, Global Resilience Partnership, the International Institute for Environment and Development, and Climate Justice Resilience Fund. This collaboration aims to enable more global climate finance to be accessed and deployed by grassroots-led funding mechanisms.
