TRIPLE-F is committed to reducing our environmental impact and to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. We’re building a youth generation-wide movement of young people leading solutions to the climate crisis, by shifting the power for a clean and just future. We’re working for a future grounded in climate justice, where people on the frontlines of climate change can take back power and lead solutions from the ground up. Young girls and women and children activists from around the world have been leaders in the movement to combat climate change — organizing protests, rallies, strikes, sit-ins and lawsuits to fight for political and social change. Gender equality is a central element of climate justice. Women and girls are, and will continue to be, more vulnerable to the effects of climate change and environmental degradation. The facts are irrefutable: 1) Women and children are more likely to die than men in natural and man-made environmental disasters; and 2) When resources are scarce due to drought or deforestation, women have been subjected to sextortion in order to gain access to water or firewood; and Gender is a social construct. While not immutable nor universal, gender shapes expectations, attributes, roles, capacities and rights of women and men around the world. Climate change affects everyone, but women and men experience the differently, and women are often disproportionately negatively affected. This program strategic aim to : 1) Local actors increase action on gender responsive climate change adaptation and mitigation; 2) Young girls and Women in all their diversity and other marginalized groups are represented as key environmental actors in climate and DRR decision-making; and 3) Girls and Women and other marginalized groups in Indonesia engage in climate-resilient livelihoods. We believe that the real gender equity and climate justice leadership that we need is embedded at the grassroots of feminist activism, where high level political ideas are translated into daily intersectional realities.
