Project Overview

Typically, female graduates face higher unemployment rates and often struggle to secure quality employment opportunities, with education playing a crucial role in improving access to better job prospects. This innovative cross-cultural collaborative project in the UK, Australia, South Africa, Ghana, and Botswana strengthens pathways into climate careers by designing unique practical interventions to inform:

  1. broadening female students’ perspectives on possible climate career options, and
  2. bringing industry/practice and higher education closer in addressing climate action.

We will engage professional and academic associations, NGOs/NPOs, industry practitioners, and consult with several beneficiaries and users across countries contributing to improving cooperation between the Global North and South.
