The Elsevier Foundation Chemistry for Climate Action Challenge

The Elsevier Foundation Chemistry for Climate Action Challenge

Deadline: 14-Jul-22

The Elsevier Foundation Chemistry for Climate Action Challenge is now open for individuals and organizations whose projects use green and sustainable chemistry solutions to tackle some of the developing world’s greatest sustainability challenges.

With a new focus on Climate Action, the Challenge also supports SDG5, Gender Equality, recognizing the pivotal role that women play in combating climate change.

Projects submitted to the Challenge must integrate a gender dimension (such as addressing the role of women in adapting to climate shifts and participating in policy-making and leadership roles) into their projects.

With a new focus on Climate Action, the Elsevier Foundation Challenge also aims to recognize the pivotal role women play in combating climate change. UN Women reports that globally, one fourth of all economically active women are engaged in agriculture, where they must contend with climate consequences such as crop failure, and also have the disproportionate responsibilities for collecting increasingly scarce water and fuel.

Projects submitted to the Challenge must therefore take into consideration gender components such as addressing the role of women in adapting to climate shifts and participating in policymaking and leadership roles.
