About This Program
Led by the Ewha Global Institute for Sustainable Partnership and Empowerment (EGISE) at Ewha Womans University, this is a global platform integrating SDGs and climate crisis response from a gender perspective. It aims to connect and converge gender as a key variable in addressing climate crisis, the most critical challenge for achieving the SDGs.
Core Activities
Gender and Climate Global Fellowship
A women leader development program targeting global female public officials, women scientists from developing countries, university NGO leaders, and young women climate activists. The curriculum covers gender-responsive climate policy, climate finance, planetary health, climate AI, and gender data analysis. Utilizing Ewha Womans University's interdisciplinary colleges, it will be structured as a global fellowship with Field Immersion programs in ODA regions.
Gender & Climate Living Lab

Global Gender-Climate Policy Hub
Aiming to serve as a gender-based climate policy think tank. Research areas include environmental health inequalities and gender/climate vulnerability, with goals of developing global gender-climate indicators and dispatching delegates to COP and other international forums.
Women Youth Climate Leadership Network
A youth participation platform to actively bridge the gap between youth policy and the international stage, building relationships for global expansion. (Global Women Climate Leader Forum, Youth Climate Policy Hackathon, etc.)
