The #Open17 Challenge is about tackling the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This year’s challenge focuses on SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and SDG 13 (Climate Action). The #Open17ClimateGender challenge invites you to pitch a project that tackles climate and gender challenges using crowdsourcing solutions, in line with one of the challenge themes below:

Measuring the differentiated impacts of disasters on women and men. For example, in a given community or region, how much worse is the impact of a flood for women than for men on lost lives, assets or other aspects of their lives?

Assessing women’s vulnerability to climate change effects on natural resources. For example, what is the impact of damage to crops or pollution of ground water on women’s personal security, livelihoods or the time spent on taking care of parents or children?

Improving data on women’s participation in environmental management. For example, how can you track the ways women are contributing to managing wetlands or waste recycling?

Measuring the health of ecosystems in a systematic way with women’s contribution. For example, how can women provide unique insights into the ways local plants and wildlife are being affected by climate change?
