Join us in Bonn, Germany, for an official side event at the Bonn Climate Change Conference, happening June 6-16, 2022. Our side event, on June 14 at 11:30am CEST, will be live streamed.
The 56th session of the subsidiary bodies will take place at the World Convention Center Bonn, Germany.
The CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform, Women Engage for a Common Future (WECF) and Women Environment Programme (WEP) have co-organized an official side event at the Bonn Climate Change Conference.
The event, to be held on June 14, 11.30 am - 1.00 CEST, will showcase actions from different stakeholders to advance the Gender Action Plan & national climate roadmaps. CGIAR GENDER will further present new evidence from a hotspot mapping methodology that has revealed where climate change hits women the hardest, thereby providing direction where investments in actions to address these inequalities should focus on.
Objectives
- Inform decision-making bodies, policymakers, and practitioners on the cross-cutting benefits of locally owned and gender-responsive climate mitigation and adaptation actions
- Underline the need to support the collection of evidence base and disaggregated data to demonstrate the impact of gender-responsive solutions
- Build bridges and open new spaces for exchange experiences and views among local practitioners, researchers, and policymakers
- Contribute to the GAP mandate and review (focusing on Activities A4, B3 and D4) through the dissemination of local good practices that can be replicated in regional and national contexts.

Three things scientists don’t know about women farmers and climate change but really should
"Just how well agriculture and food systems can cope with rising temperatures, floods and other climate shocks and stresses will be determined first and foremost by how much both women and men farmers can adapt to climate change." -- Ranjitha Puskur, CGIAR GENDER Evidence Module Lead, and Karl Deering, Interim Senior Director for Climate Justice at CARE USA.
