Deadline: 30-Nov-21
Hivos is inviting proposals from research institution or individual to map the existing climate justice advocacy work which integrates art in it.
Hivos would like to identify artists, initiatives, collectives, and communities who are integrating art as a medium for advocacy and their impact on the climate justice conversation.
Hivos is looking to learn from these initiatives and determine which patterns, successes and failures exist in these conversations and their impact in moving the climate justice conversation forward.
In response, an alliance of 6 organizations – the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Netherlands, SouthSouthNorth (SSN), Akina Mama wa Afrika (AMwA), Slum Dwellers International (SDI), Fundación Avina and Hivos – have joined hands to create the “Voices for Climate Action” (VCA) Programme, a lobby and advocacy initiative supported by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs within the “Power of Voices” framework, which is being implemented in seven countries of the Global South: Bolivia, Brazil, Indonesia, Kenya, Paraguay, Tunisia and Zambia.
The VCA Programme aims to ensure that by 2025, local civil society and underrepresented groups will have taken on a central role as creators, facilitators and advocates of innovative and inclusive climate solutions. Their inclusion is crucial for effective and lasting climate responses. It is also crucial, and because the climate crisis is also a societal challenge with ethical and human rights aspects occurring alongside a number of inequalities based on gender, socioeconomic class, race, ethnicity, nationality, ability, sexual orientation, and age.
The overall approach of the Programme is to work with civil society to build widespread societal support for locally-shaped climate solutions through an inclusive and rights-based approach. This includes building a broad-based climate alliance at country level, bridging divides (urban-rural, gender, youth) that amplifies voices in new unusual ways. In addition, it will influence national and global policies and financial flows (e.g. climate finance, private sector investments) in support of these locally-shaped solutions.
Locations: Global – (Preferred Kenya, Zambia, Tunisia, Brazil, Indonesia, Bolivia, Paraguay)
