• Raise awareness among all generations of the interactions between gender and climate and provide girls with access to education and green jobs
  
• Improve access to essential and productive means to enable women’s full engagement in climate change action
  
• Integrate gendered data to highlight and inform the development of climate policies and actions
  
• Finance and develop gender responsive and scalable social, economic and technological climate solutions
