About the Resilient, Inclusive, and Sustainable Environments (RISE) grants challenge
Cross-sector partnerships.
Pioneering learning.
Pioneering learning.
The Resilient, Inclusive, and Sustainable Environments (RISE) grants challenge is a unique fund that supports local partnerships between environmental and women’s organisations to address gender-based violence and environment linkages in the context of environmental degradation and climate change. Funded by USAID and Norad, the RISE grants challenge is a direct response to a landmark study by IUCN on Gender-based violence and environment linkages: the violence of inequality. Now managed by IUCN, the RISE grants challenge is housed in alignment with the Gender-Based Violence and Environment Linkages Center (GBV-ENV Center), a strategic action center under the Advancing Gender in the Environment (AGENT) partnership between USAID and IUCN. This virtual event is part of a webinar series hosted by IUCN in connection with its AGENT initiative and its flagship GBV-ENV Center.
