Mission
Knowledge is empowerment. Empowerment is equality.
Equality is EmpoderaClima.
OUR MISSION
EmpoderaClima exists to cocreate a sustainable and just world by empowering young women from the Global South to tackle the climate crisis, through a gender lens and intersectional approach.
Filling the gender gap
in climate action
THE PROBLEM
Lack of awareness and resources about the interlinkage between climate change and gender inequality targeted at youth from the Global South, including in Latin America and the Caribbean (where we are based). This excludes marginalized groups, especially young women and girls, from getting involved in climate decision-making spaces and bringing the justice agenda forward.
OUR SOLUTION
We are filling the gender gap in climate action by creating and sharing multilingual educational content, and advocating for gender equality and climate justice in decision-making spaces, centering the youth perspective and Global South experience.
OUR WORK
EDUCATION
We host and lead:
A multilingual database, available in four languages, with both original and curated content (by youth and for youth) that serves as a resource about gender and climate justice for everyone.
Series of events and talks via Instagram live and Youtube on the gender and climate action agenda and its many related topics;
Social media posts on the gender and climate nexus, produced in four languages for a global audience.
ADVOCACY
We champion global and national advocacy efforts for gender-just climate action, through:
Partnerships with climate organizations and movements all over the globe (see our partners);
Interventions at international climate and/or gender events and high-level panels led by our team at the annual United Nations Climate Conferences (COPs);
National projects and programs focused on climate education, training and capacity-building for those most affected by the climate crisis, especially young women in Latin America.
