In 2020 and again in 2023, ISET delivered innovative, learning-oriented, and forward-looking reviews of the Climate Justice Resilience Fund’s (CJRF) global portfolio. CJRF is a private foundation committed to funding grassroots NGOs representing women, youths, and Indigenous Peoples in three of the world’s most climate-vulnerable locations.
