On the 16 - 18 March 2021 was held online the Global Learning Event "People and Planet: Gender, Environment and Climate ".
By moving from business as usual to actually making a difference, the global learning event served to facilitate new innovative local, regional and global partnerships, and to enable the mobilisation and collective action for a more sustainable planet.
The event facilitated global, cross regional and regional dialogue and shared experiences e.g. on why a gender analysis is imperative to understand the consequences of environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity and climate change.
Climate Change & Gender equalityClimate Change affects all of us but in different ways. Gender equality as a lens for climate and environmental work ensures women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and public life. Women carry significant knowledge about preserving biodiversity and natural resource management and are as such important agents of change.
