Climate Equity Through Female Employment: ICONIQ Impact Co-Lab Portfolio Organizations
ICONIQ Impact highlights three portfolio organizations—Build Change, Chintan, and Pastoral Women's Council—that empower women in the Global South through climate-related vocational training and employment. These organizations address disaster resilience, waste management, and renewable energy adoption while creating economic opportunities for vulnerable female populations. The initiative demonstrates how gender equity and climate adaptation can be advanced simultaneously through skills development and policy advocacy.
