Overview
Data2X, an alliance housed at the U.N. Foundation, seeks to eliminate gender bias from the major data sources that are used to inform decisions in government, the private sector, and civil society. Data2X uses a collaborative, partnership-based model to promote gender data production and use by promoting the importance of gender data to key decision makers. Data2X also works with standard-setting global agencies to influence methodological standards and correct for bias. Goals for this grant period are to lay the groundwork for larger-scale change in key gender data production areas (women’s economic participation, financial inclusion, and big data), deepen understanding of the current state of gender data and actions that need to be taken, mobilize new actors or channels for funding, and improve Data2X’s capacity to tell the gender data story and mobilize new investments in gender data.

Grants to this Grantee
for the U.S. Climate Alliance
The U.S. Climate Alliance is uniquely suited to help states deliver on historic opportunities for bold climate action and maximize the potential of the Inflation Reduction Act to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This grant will support states as they harness new federal resources, creating in-house secretariat capacity to provide technical, policy, and communications assistance to states, at scale, and deliver critical flexible funding.

for the U.S. Climate Alliance
The U.S. Climate Alliance is a bipartisan coalition of governors representing 24 states, with more than 60% of U.S. GDP, 55% of the U.S. population, and 40% of U.S. emissions. These governors are committed to driving the nation’s ambitious climate agenda by working in partnership with each other, the federal government, and the international community. The alliance has an important role to play in implementation of federal climate investment laws by supporting state engagement with federal agencies, supporting the development of state decarbonization plans, and supporting effective deployment of federal dollars to drive decarbonization and community economic development.
