I would like to join the programme as a mentor and offer my time and expertise. How can I do so?
To become a mentor in your city, please send us an email with your name, title, CV, motivation letter and a short description as to why you would like to volunteer as a mentor.
How does the mentorship programme work?
In short, the Women4Climate Mentorship Programme is a peer-to-peer relationship between an experienced mentor and a mentee to enhance the mentees’ agency and autonomy in a chosen domain. The programme usually runs for ten months and enables mentees to become part of a global platform consisting of other climate heroines who are part of its network. The mentoring also enables mentees to connect to a powerful network of mayors, city officials, global change-makers and industry professionals. You can learn more about the mentorship programmes active in C40 cities here.
Are cities allowed to take part in other Women4Climate initiatives other than the Mentorship Programme ongoing cities?
Cities can part take in other initiatives of Women4Climate. Cities can join as implementing partners of the Tech Challenge or they can provide be a part of our Knowledge Lab and provide valuable information on research pillars focused on the gendered impacts of climate change.
I am developing a project on climate change/emission reduction in cities. How can I share it with C40?
If you are a researcher, city practitioner, startupper or expert, and your work corresponds to the gender-specific impacts of climate change, please contact us here, indicating your name, title, and a brief (max. 250 words) summary of your project. We will get in touch as soon as we can.
Am I eligible for the mentorship programme?
