High stakes, great urgency: collecting evidence for gender-just and impactful climate policies – Side Event SB56

Theme

Gender just community-led climate initiatives enhance women’s human rights while contributing to mitigation and adaptation policies. They lead transformative models for a just transition. This event will showcase efforts from multiple stakeholders to advance on the Gender Action Plan (GAP) and national climate roadmaps.

Objectives

• Inform decision-making bodies, policymakers, and practitioners on the cross-cutting benefits of locally owned and gender-responsive climate mitigation and adaptation actions
• Underline the need to support the collection of evidence base and disaggregated data to demonstrate the impact of gender-responsive solutions
• Build bridges and open new spaces for exchange experiences and views among local practitioners, researchers, and policymakers
• Contribute to the GAP mandate and review (focusing on Activities A4, B3 and D4) through the dissemination of local good practices that can be replicated in regional and national contexts.
