This three-part workshop at COP15 aims to increase the capacities of UNCCD National Focal Points and other relevant stakeholders on addressing gender and land tenure related issues in the context of the implementation of the Convention and land degradation neutrality (LDN).
Watch our virtual panel as part of the Skoll World Forum’s Ecosystem Day to hear about how rural land users, including women, Indigenous Peoples, and youth are emerging as powerful change agents in advancing climate mitigation and adaptation.
This event examines the intersection of women’s land rights, sustainable land use, and the climate crisis by highlighting the connection between gender-sensitive land rights reforms, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and sustainable land use strategies related to women’s skills and knowledge, such as in water and agriculture. U.S. Government officials will join to share efforts related to this nexus.
This event will feature speakers from research institutions and CSOs from around the world to highlight current opportunities and ongoing efforts to increase gender-equitable land rights as a strategy for climate mitigation and adaptation in forests, wetlands, and agricultural lands.
This event features voices from the Stand for Her Land (S4HL) campaign – grassroots leaders from both rural and urban communities who hold deep expertise on securing gender equal rights for women, and engaging men and whole communities for gender justice.
For national governments pursuing their climate commitments, securing land tenure for their rural populations would lay the foundation for effective, sustainable climate action.
The panel will discuss overall trends to tackle the climate imperative in development work, as well as several specific efforts: addressing deforestation through protection of Indigenous community tenure rights, climate smart agriculture initiatives, and government commitments to safeguard coastal mangroves areas.
This virtual event, hosted by Devex in partnership with the Hilton Foundation, will explore how investing in girl’s education can help increase their resilience to climate change, but also how it can play a key role in fostering girls’ and women’s climate leadership and climate action.
Women are underrepresented in climate leadership but hold the solutions for both people and planet.
Join us for a conversation at COP26 about the critical role women play in building climate resilient food systems. Virtual webcast link available.
