Goodwall Video – Challenges explained

Description
Through the Open Seventeen Challenge, Crowd4SDG is launching in August 2021 its second call for projects powered by the crowd aiming to tackle climate and gender issues. To make your project as concrete and impactful as possible, we’ve asked a range of experts from agencies of the UN as well as National Statistical Offices to provide us with specific challenges that address the issues of climate change and gender equality, for which crowdsourced data would be particularly valuable. We would like for projects to address one of the challenges below. In this video, Francois Grey from University of Geneva who coordinates Crowd4SDG, talks to Elena Proden from UNITAR about the challenges.

  • Measuring the differentiated impacts of disasters on women and men.
  • Assessing women’s vulnerability to climate change effects on natural resources.
  • Improving data on women’s participation in environmental management.
  • Measuring the health of ecosystems in a systemic way with women’s contribution.
  • Open challenge on crowdsourcing for climate change resilience and gender equality.
