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.

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.

Webinar: Securing Gender Equality and a Nature Positive World

The loss of nature and climate change are having severe and lasting impacts on our environment and economic and social development, especially among the most vulnerable and marginalized populations.

In addition, they have often been subject to harmful social and gender norms, and their crucial role in natural resource management has often been overlooked. Join this webinar to find out how a nature-positive world can help achieve gender equality, social
