Dear friends,
It's with pride that we are presenting to you the report of the Girl-Led Action on Climate Change (GLACC) Programme – Phase II.
This phase kicked off in April 2023 and ended in March 2026. Throughout this phase, girls from different communities have taken action on climate change by raising awareness, leading campaigns, and inspiring change in their communities.
Key highlights:
156
Advocacy Champions were trained on effective advocacy and were supported to design and deliver national advocacy strategies aimed at influencing decision-makers to improve climate change policy, resource and knowledge, to achieve systematic change that will benefit girls and communities more widely.
276
National Trainers completed training on GLACC/YLACC curriculum, safeguarding, M&E, and advocacy. They cascaded the training to
3,913
unit leaders who are rolling out the activities with Scouts and Guides.
Young people reached an average of
6.8
community members through "Take Action" initiatives, a step where learners sensitise the community to adopt eco-friendly behaviours and share knowledge to adapt to the consequences of climate change.
218,498
Young people have completed the curriculum and earned the badge. The curriculum educated learners on climate change and its gender dimension to ensure that they are more resilient to the impacts.
22
Advocacy Champions represented WAGGGS in international events, including COP28, COP29, COP30 and the 17th session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-7) and collaborated with a range of organisations to advocate for the inclusion of girls and young women in climate solutions.

Countries are currently implementing GLACC: Argentina, Barbados, Benin, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominica, Guatemala, India, Liberia, Madagascar, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Rwanda, Sri Lanka, St Lucia, Tanzania, Trinidad & Tobago, Uganda and Venezuela.
This achievement was made possible through the generous support of AKO Foundation, UNICEF, our Member Organisations, project teams, and the dedicated Country Project Managers and GLACC team, whose commitment made this journey a success.
