This fund is a call to action for those at the forefront of climate and care work to support organizations and initiatives to develop evidence on the importance of integrating these critical areas.
The Climate & Care Initiative, supported by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and led by a consortium including the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD), Oxfam Canada, and Fundación Avina in collaboration with the Global Alliance for Care, seeks innovative practices that connect climate and care to promote equitable and sustainable development and a just transition.
About This Funding Opportunity
Climate change and care work are deeply intertwined. Climate change increases the need for paid and unpaid care work, mostly done by women. It reduces access to natural resources like water and firewood, while mitigation activities such as waste management and biodiversity care also fall on unpaid female labor. This burden limits caregivers’ participation in climate decision-making and in green jobs that contribute to just transitions. By integrating climate and care action, we have the chance to build resilient, sustainable systems towards just societies.
Whether you’re a grassroots organization, NGO, or movement from the Global South working in climate and care agendas, this is your opportunity to make a meaningful difference. We’re looking for projects that not only recognize the connection between climate and care, but actively work to transform it.
