We aspire leaders

Gender and Climate Guidebook

It is an educational project on climate issues in Egypt, UK and the whole world, mainly focusing on the consequences of climate change on women’s health. This project is in contribution to 3 Sustainable Development Goals: Climate Action, Gender Equality, Good Health and Wellbeing, as climate change is intersecting with a lot of lenses nowadays. We educate 60 young people aged 18 to 30 from an environmental point of view, as well as a health point of view as the following 30 based in the UK and 30 based in Egypt regardless of their race, faith, class or any other background. Those 60 young climate leaders are supposed to train over750 participants.

Why Gender and Climate Guidebook?

Many promising young leaders working in the development sector want to volunteer or work nationally and internationally in NGOs, and UN entities or attend leadership programs, exchange opportunities, or fellowships in similar organizations in order to achieve the 2030 agenda. However, they have limited knowledge about the 2030 agenda, and they miss many advocacy skills.

Also, they are disconnected from their community decision makers, their community members and even each other. In addition, their advocacy work isn’t meaningfully highlighted on social media and traditional media.

Project brief:

  • Engage meaningfully at least 300 youth through 10 campaigns.
  • Reach at least 300,000 youth social media users through Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms.

Action Plan

  • We have 10 teams where they plan awareness campaigns about gender and climate issues.
  • Those campaigns are to be published on social media platforms of both Empower Hub and UK Youth climate coalition, after getting trained on how to plan comprehensive awareness campaigns using statistics and accurate information.
  • The project ends with a Mega Hybrid Conference attended by elected parliament from the house and the senate, government officials, social media influencers, climate activists, women rights advocates, Student leaders, professors, scholars, NGOs representatives and grassroots leaders.
  • In addition, the 10 teams present the result of their campaigns through a TED-format talk. Therefore, there is the gender and climate guide book including the 10 campaigns and their details.
