This webinar will provide stakeholders and potential applicants with an overview of our current understanding of the gender gap in environmental programming. The goal of the webinar is to generate awareness around why the topic is important, point to open call for applications deadlines and milestones, signal the qualities of a strong application, and to answer questions from stakeholders both live during the webinar and after. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions about the Challenge, which will be captured and added to the Challenge FAQ.
