Launched by the Women and Gender Constituency in 2015, the Award honours the fundamental contribution of gender equality and women’s organisations in the fight against climate chaos and demonstrates the necessity to integrate gender equality in all climate policies.

"The incredible dynamism of the Gender Just Climate Solutions awardees network is a source of innovative and successful experiences that informs the CTCN’s recommendations for gender-responsive technology transfer and development", noted CTCN Director Dr. Rose Mwebaza.

The Paris Agreement established the technology framework to provide overarching guidance to the work of the UNFCCC Technology Executive Committee (TEC) and the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) in promoting and facilitating enhanced action on technology development and transfer. The TEC and the CTCN are pleased to launch their first joint publication on technology and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).
