Challenge Overview

Check out the Apply for UNFPA Research Challenge: Climate Change XX: Women’s Health in Focus .The countries most at risk of climate change are also those where women and girls face the greatest dangers. “Without urgent action, climate change will set back the clock on gender equality,” says Dr. Natalia Kanem, UNFPA Executive Director. “UNFPA is pleased to support young female researchers studying the impacts of climate on women’s health. This is important to ensure that both the priorities of women and girls are reflected in climate strategies in the most vulnerable countries and that women are better represented in climate-related decision-making.”

In this context, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), in collaboration with academic partners, is launching the Research Challenge: Climate Change XX: Women’s Health in Focus. This Challenge will support young and female researchers who are addressing the impact of climate change on women and girls’ health – with special attention to the topic of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and gender equity and inclusion in the design of climate solutions.

Challenge Objectives

They invite proposals for a Research Challenge that specifically focus on the intersection of women’s health and climate change.

Through this challenge, UNFPA aims to:

  • Enhance the capacity of young and female researchers from UNFPA Programme Countries to develop research solutions at the intersection of women’s health and climate change by offering funding, capacity building, and engagement in developing research.
  • Expand the scope of research at the intersection of women’s health and climate change, thereby bolstering UNFPA’s initiatives aimed at improving access to information, commodities, and services related to women’s health.
  • Increase women’s participation and engagement in climate solutions with a particular focus on locally-led participatory research approaches.

To accomplish these goals, the Research Challenge will select up to six teams and organizations as winners, prioritizing teams led by female researchers. Each selected proposal will build resilience in health systems and empower women and girls in regions most vulnerable to climate change.
