Resource library
Find valuable resources and articles to support your climate, environment, and nature programmes.
The CLEAN Helpdesk integrates gender equity, disability, and social inclusion (GEDSI) through all technical assistance (TA) requests to advance effective and sustainable climate, environment and nature (CEN) outcomes. We support programmes to embed equitable outcomes, meaningfully engage socially excluded groups, and leverage GEDSI co-benefits through their work. Read more about our approach in this info note.
