Gender, youth and social inclusion for climate action and food, land and water system transformation
The CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform is co-organizing a side event with Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT, Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens, ClimAdapt Nepal, Climate Forward Pakistan and IWMI Nepal at the COP 29 in Baku, Azerbeijan.
Gender, youth and social inclusion for climate action and food, land and water system transformation
Join us at COP29 in Baku for a pivotal discussion on the role of gender equality, youth, and inclusivity in advancing system transformation amid climate challenges. This session will facilitate discussion on three critical areas:
1. Women and Youth-Led Climate Adaptation: Climate change disproportionately impacts vulnerable groups like women, youth, and minorities, but their unique experiences are crucial to adaptation efforts. Including them in testing, adoption and scaling up climate-smart technologies and policies ensures more comprehensive, just, and effective climate action.
2. Inclusive Policies for Water Security: Delve into the need for strengthening gender- and socially inclusive policies that ensure future water security, identifying key systemic barriers and strategic roadmaps to overcome them.
3. Participation of Women and Minorities in Capacity Development: Examine the challenges and opportunities for enhancing the involvement of women and minorities in climate capacity development programs, fostering a more equitable approach to climate action.
Together, we will share insights and collaborate on actionable strategies to promote inclusivity and resilience in our agri-food systems. Key players working on advancing women and youth-led climate adaptation for sustainable agri-food and water systems come together to discuss ways to ensure women and other marginalized groups are positioned to lead climate action & justice from the front as farmers, researchers, & entrepreneurs.
