Girl-Led Action on
Climate Change
The Girl-Led Action on Climate Change badge has been co-created with girls from Benin, Lesotho, Tanzania. It represents girls' voices and their call to action for us all to take urgent action on climate change.
Girl-Led Action on Climate Change (GLACC) is a World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts’ (WAGGGS) programme that aims to increase awareness of climate-related issues, support direct adaptation and mitigation climate action at community and national levels, and increase the capacity for women to take leadership roles in climate change response.
GLACC is funded by the AKO Foundation. The curriculum content has been developed with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO).
Climate change disproportionately and severely impacts girls and women due to inequalities in rights and power. A recent OECD report (2021) highlights the detrimental impact of climate change on women across each of the 17 indicators of the Strategic Development Goals. Despite this, women’s voices are not adequately represented in climate discussions, with the result that policies to combat and adapt to climate change, are not addressing their specific needs.
