Gender-just climate solutions: Opportunities for upscaling. Women-led ecological restoration in Cameroon
Around the world, women in all their diversity are playing a leading role in implementing effective and sustainable measures to adapt to and mitigate climate change. Their practices bring together Indigenous, local and scientific knowledge; centre care and well-being for both people and planet; ensure the leadership and participation of women at all levels of decision-making, and prioritise an intersectional feminist and human rights-based approach. More recognition, political support and funding is urgently needed for women-led, participatory efforts to measure climate impacts, and to upscale and expand gender-just climate solutions.

Well-deserved recognition for small grants funds!
We are exited about the news that Ms MacKenzie Scott decided to entrust substantial funding to a wide range of small grants funds from Both ENDS' partner networks*. These small grants funds are unique as they are set up and led by people, often activists themselves, from the country or region in which the fund is based. Most mainstream conventional funders admit they have difficulties reaching community based organisations and grassroots groups themselves. Small grants funds know better than anyone how to reach local communities, who to support and what kind of financial as well as non-financial support is most needed. Thus, they bridge a wide funding gap. Both ENDS applauds this recognition of the important role of these funds…

Our Director ranking 52nd on Dutch ‘Sustainable 100’-list
We are very proud that our director Daniëlle Hirsch has been included again in the ‘Sustainable 100’ (an annual ranking list published by Dutch newspaper Trouw), and has gone up more than 40 spots compared to last year! Danielle was included in the list because of the many things she does with her organisation as a whole, but she got the higher ranking for the way she combines her criticism of the destructive role of the Netherlands as a trading nation and large cause of CO2 emissions in the world (often supported by the Dutch government), with a constructive attitude when it comes…
