The United Nations Climate Change secretariat is calling for activities for selection under Momentum for Change: Women for Results.
Momentum for Change: Women for Results showcases women-led activities that address climate change. These “lighthouse activities” will demonstrate measurable impact on the ground, and the potential for replicability and scaleability at the local, national and international levels.
Momentum for Change: Women for Results is implemented with the generous support of the Rockefeller Foundation.
The Momentum for Change Advisory Panel will select a small number of lighthouse activities to be recognized during the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Warsaw, Poland from 11–22 November 2013
The lighthouse activities will be assessed and chosen against the following selection criteria:
- The activity must address climate change mitigation or adaptation, while advancing the active leadership and participation of women;
- The activity must have been implemented, or is in the course of implementation;
- The activity must be scalable and/or replicable;
- The activity must demonstrate innovation and potential for long-term transformation change;
- The activity must be the result of an innovative partnership, which aims to achieve scalable, long-term results;
- The activity must deliver verifiable social and environmental benefits to an identified community, which has been appropriately engaged in the activity development processes;
- The activity must not be registered or have intentions to register as a CDM or JI activity for the next 2 years.
Applications will be judged on the basis of the form submitted; the Momentum for Change team may contact the applicant should further information be sought.
The deadline to submit applications is 28 April 2013. For more information, visit this link.
