Presidency Event: Advancing Gender Equality in Climate Action"

Women and girls, particularly those facing intersecting inequalities, are disproportionately impacted by climate change, but they are also critical leaders at all levels of climate action, from local communities to global forums. Building on the UN Women convened Action Coalition on Feminist Action for Climate Justice and the UNFCCC Gender Action Plan, this event will bring together Ministers, civil society, business leaders and activists, and will drive progress through the announcement of new and strengthened commitments. This event will showcase some of the best and brightest examples of gender equality in climate action, sending a message that the time for gender-responsive implementation is now.
