Women are on the frontlines of climate change, yet remain underrepresented in designing and financing climate solutions. Catalyst Fund’s new Gender Brief, developed with UNIDO, FSD Africa, and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), shows how African startups and investors are proving that gender-smart climate innovation drives resilience, unlocks markets, and delivers sustainable impact.

This 60-minute webinar will highlight findings from the brief and feature insights from founders, investors, and policymakers advancing inclusive climate innovation across Africa. Speakers will unpack the barriers women face, the commercial opportunities created by gender inclusion, and the steps investors and ecosystem actors can take to accelerate progress.
