    Goals / Remit

    WECF is a nonprofit network dedicated to a gender just and healthy planet for all. Our international network consists of over 150 women’s and civil society organisations implementing projects in 50 countries.

That is why we work on transformative gender equality and women’s human rights in interconnection with climate justice, sustainable energy & chemicals, less toxic waste, safe water & sanitation for all.

    Communication activities

    WECF is a founding member of the Women’s Major Group. The WMG is a self-organised network of 1000 organisations from over 100 countries providing input into the global policy processes on Sustainable Development. WECF gave substantial input in the monthly negotiations of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and does since then at the HLPF overseeing its implementation. WECF supports grassroots women leaders to participate in the policy process and speak in the United Nations halls. We help develop policy interventions and to organise meetings with government delegations. Through our Women2030 program, we support local women organizations in 50 countries to engage in the national implementation of the global commitments for Sustainable Development including the global goal on Gender Equality. WECF is also an active core member of the Women and Gender Constituency (WGC). WECF contributes to the climate negotiations and ensures the participation of grassroots women organisations from our networks in the policy meetings (‘gender-just climate solutions’ program in cooperation with the WGC)
    The list of the processes we follow:
    - Aarhus Convention
    - Agenda 2030 (Sustainable Development Goals)
    - Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm (BRS) Conventions
    - Generation Equality Forum and Beijing plus 25
    -UN Women’s Commission on the Status of Women (CSW)
    - WHO’s European Environment and Health Process (EHP)
    - United Nation’s Environmental Assembly (UNEA)
    - United Nation’s Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
    In 2016, WECF signed a Framework Partnership Agreement with DEVCO, for the implementation of the programme Women2030. The #Women2030 programme is being implemented in 52 countries across different regions of the world. It is lead by a coalition of four women and gender network organisations collaborating to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in a gender equitable and climate just way. Our aim is to advance local and regional equitable, inclusive & environmental sustainable development, including the 2030 Agenda & climate change processes. Our goal is to build capacity of women’s civil society organisations.WECF also aims to achieve the 2030 Agenda and Paris Climate Agreement by advancing local and regional sustainable development, while ensuring it is equitable and inclusive. To achieve this we currently facilitate participation in policy development and monitoring, mobilize citizen’s support, and share best practices. The EU DEVCO funding for Women2030 programme will end in 2021. Activities will continue with funding from Netherlands as part of their Power of Voices and Power of Women strategic partnerships. WECF is also part of the coalition of 28 civil society organisations led by the European Environmental Bureau (EEB) in the project Make Europe Sustainable for All (MESA), under the EU DEAR funding program. This coalition works in 15 EU countries, and ended in September 2020. All offices in France, Germany and the Netherlands participated. We organise dialogue meetings with policy makers. We monitor the progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. We work in wider coalitions with over 150 civil society organisations as part of SDG-Watch Europe. Since August 2020 WECF is part of a new coalition working on awareness raising on gender, climate and development, funded under the EU DEAR programme. The action will take place in 13 EU Member States and combines organisations with diverse experiences. This project will use the combined experience to raise awareness, build capacity and support EU citizens, particularly young people, to build public support for ambitious climate change and development policies which have gender equality at their heart.

    Other activities

    WECF has participated in a number of events and consultations of the European Parliament and the European Commission, and gave input and organised round tables in the frame of the EU processes.

    Since November 2019, WECF is a member of the Partnership Forum on Development (PFD), after being involved in PFD meetings and in the Partnership Forum in the past couple of years. During the PFD meetings, we have shared our experiences and best practices on PFD issues, and especially on transformative gender equality and women’s human rights, in interconnection with sustainable development. The PFD enables us to bring the perspective of women’s rights and gender equality organisations to the table, to advance their representation and their rights.

    WECF also participates in the European Green Week and the European Development Days every year.

    Since 2016 WECF has a framework cooperation agreement with DEVCO and implements the programme WOMEN2030 with three other international partners.
