Women’s And Girls’ Empowerment: Key To Equitable Food Systems In A Changing Climate?

Climate change affects women and men differently. Women are often stereotyped as victims of the impacts of climate change, but the root causes of gender inequalities that result in vulnerability are ignored. As we observe International Women's Day in March, join the CGIAR GENDER Platform for a side event to the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW66) under the theme of climate change. The event will feature lessons from the field in Bangladesh and Zambia, and a discussion on the work of promoting gender equality to achieve climate-resilient, sustainable, and productive food systems for all.
