Join the CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform in Bonn, Germany, for an official side event at the Bonn Climate Change Conference happening on June 14, 11:30-13:00 CEST.
The 56th session of the subsidiary bodies will take place from June 6 to 16 2022, at the World Convention Center Bonn, Germany.
The CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform, Women Engage for a Common Future (WECF) and Women Environment Programme (WEP) have co-organized an official side event at the Bonn Climate Change Conference.
The event will showcase actions from different stakeholders to advance the Gender Action Plan & national climate roadmaps.
CGIAR GENDER will further present new evidence from a hotspot mapping methodology that has revealed where climate change hits women the hardest, thereby providing direction where investments in actions to address these inequalities should be targeted.
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
