Context of the call

Voices for Just Climate Action (VCA is a climate action program implemented by World Wildlife Fund (WWF), SouthSouthNorth (SSN), Akina Mama wa Afrika (AMwA), Slum Dwellers International (SDI), Avina Foundation (AVINA) and Hivos, in strategic collaboration with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The VCA program aims to ensure that by 2025, civil society and underrepresented groups have a more participatory role as creators, facilitators, and advocates of innovative and inclusive climate solutions. Inclusion of these groups is crucial for an effective and lasting climate response, as the climate crisis is a social challenge that contains ethical and human rights aspects that occur alongside inequalities tied to gender, socioeconomic class, race, ethnicity, nationality, physical ability, sexual orientation, and age.

The program's overall approach is to work with civil society to build broad social support for locally designed climate solutions through an inclusive, rights-based approach.

1. Mutual capacity building for the joint creation of alternative climate solutions at scale.
