Localization in practice means transforming financial mechanisms that better support community-based organizations, fostering more sustainable, impactful, and widespread change at the local level.
Intersectionality is a framework that centers a power analysis and provides a tool to advance gender justice in climate policy and funding.
Grassroots aren’t just constituents to be consulted. They are the community leaders and groups at the forefront of gender-just climate action.
Government leaders and philanthropy are coming together at COP28 as Champions of Roots Rising: a new collective campaign to support government and philanthropic actors to mobilize more and better resources for transformative, gender-just climate action. This is your time to shape history, as an influential community who, along with civil society partners, will drive progress towards funding for grassroots gender-just climate action.
Your participation in this work is a reflection of your dedication to advancing climate justice, and an acknowledgment of the essential role community-based gender and environmental justice groups and movements play in advancing climate action.
We invite you to Join the Roots Rising Champions Group — a network of government and philanthropic leaders committed to advancing climate action and gender equality. By participating, you'll be taking a meaningful step at COP28 towards tackling the fundamental causes of the climate crisis. We’ll be in touch post-COP28 to provide more details on Roots Rising, the Champions Group, and how individuals and movements can join.
