COP28 side event – Gender-just and community rights perspectives on forest & biodiversity conservation: pathways for climate justice

During this dialogue we will discuss and present examples of gender-just community conservation and restoration of forests and other ecosystem initiatives, including the strengthening of land tenure rights as one of the most effective ways to mitigate climate change. Representatives of feminist groups and other gender experts will contrast these approaches with some of the ‘false solutions’ being promoted through the increasing corporate capture of forest and climate policy-making, which can be deeply harmful to IP&LCs particularly women and girls in all their diversity.
