Overview
Women and girls are powerful change agents in designing and leading climate solutions for their communities – women are innovators, leaders, entrepreneurs, workers, and customers in climate related fields. Yet, in the broader climate finance ecosystem, gender equity is often poorly integrated or not incorporated at all. While climate finance flows amounted to more than US$600Bn in 2021, only 1% integrated a gender lens — revealing vast opportunity for change and growth.
CGEF will increase access to climate finance for gender-responsive, women-led, and women-benefiting organizations that address climate change. Launched by U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), with the support of Amazon, CGEF aims to reach a goal of US$60Mn in capital from corporations, foundations, bi/multilaterals, and other funders. CGEF seeks to harness the power of collective action to bridge the gender-climate finance gap and is thrilled to have Amazon, Visa Foundation and Reckitt as Founding Members. Join us in building a movement to catalyze gender equity in climate finance!
Grantmaking under CGEF is managed by 2X Global.
