With your support, MADRE, as part of the Feminist Green New Deal Coalition (FemGND), created spaces at various international convenings throughout the year for feminist climate justice advocates from the Global South to gather. Together, advocates worked to channel their core, actionable principles for just and feminist energy transitions-into recommendations for US and international climate policymaking.
This past spring, MADRE supported a select delegation of partners from Guatemala and Haiti, whose communities are among the most impacted by the climate crisis, to attend the UN Commission on the Status of Women (UN CSW). While our delegation was in New York City for the UN CSW, MADRE, representing the FemGND, convened a open dialogue and consultation with MADRE delegates, partners, and other feminist climate advocates. Together, consultation participants, including MADRE partners, worked to advance a set of human rights principles to hold US and other policymakers accountable for advancing globally just, feminist approaches to the energy transition. For example, Ana Ceto Chavez, from MUIXIL in Guatemala, shared her experience confronting hydroelectric projects that generate millions of dollars in profits for foreign companies while keeping her community in extreme poverty, advocating for environmental activism that is responsive and representative of Indigenous communities.
In the following months, MADRE also hosted an online dialogue on feminist global energy justice as part of the FemGND. This session was virtual, open, and featured language interpretation, allowing participants to come together across different languages and geographies. Thank you for your generous support as we continue our work with women and girls’ climate activists.
