📊 📈 Numbers? Data? Indicators? How are these connected with Target 23 of the #gbf? UNEP-WCMC and Women4Biodiversity teamed up with countries and stakeholders to co-develop a new Indicator Methodology to track the progress of Target 23! 💪 This tool was developed to monitor and record actions taken by Parties to implement the gender plan of action and Target 23, ensuring a gender-responsive approach to the entire KM-GBF. At #cop16colombia, UNEP-WCMC and Women4Biodiversity strongly advocated with Parties to adopt the metadata developed for the indicator, which currently sits as a component indicator for #target23. Check the official CBD COP16 side event on this issue, which adds to this rich dialogue. 📺 Rewatch the full side event here: https://lnkd.in/degjrQmV #indicatorsfortarget23 SwedBio Karma Wangchuk Mrinalini Rai Katherine Despot-Belmonte

Climate adaptation requires a fair and inclusive approach that considers everyone's needs. 🌎 This includes integrating considerations of gender, equity, and justice. ⚤ The IPCC's latest report emphasizes this by dedicating more content to this topic than ever before. These findings were translated into a format that aimed to communicate it in ways that were compelling and easy to understand for a broad range of actors. Represented by Chikondi Chabvuta-Mkawa, Southern Africa Region Advocacy Advisor, CARE was a part of the project advisory group to finalize the publication of this material by the International Institute for Sustainable Development. 🔗 Check out the full document here: https://lnkd.in/gb4VsEt3 #ClimateAction #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateJustice

We believe that climate adaptation must be equitable and inclusive, considering the diverse needs of all communities. Addressing gender, equity, and justice is essential for building resilient futures. We're excited to see this critical report by IPCC translated into actionable insights that resonate with many stakeholders. Kudos to CARE Climate & Resilience Academy for contributing to this vital project. #ClimateAction #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateJustice #GenderEquity

#GenderEquality in land and resource rights needs a comprehensive approach. This infographic from CIFOR-ICRAF, International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT shows how formal and informal dimensions must be addressed to achieve lasting change. 📄 See the full brief highlighting gender transformative approaches to strengthen women’s resource and #LandRights: https://lnkd.in/dFvMen2t

"Leave no one behind" is the core principle of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals. For the Mediterranean region, achieving this goal means tackling inequalities - whether they are gender related, environmental, social, or economic. Hear from Anna Dorangricchia, Project Manager in the Social and Civil Affairs Division at the UfM, how we are addressing these challenges. #MediterraneanDay Learn more about our actions in social and civil affairs: https://lnkd.in/d3Fnj5km

International IDEA launches a new report that emphasises the need to integrate #environmentalprotection and #inclusivity in natural resource management. This report highlights that alternative development models are essential to challenge the dominant extractivist paradigm amid the #climatecrisis. The report is part of the unique series: the Women Constitution Makers’ Dialogue, the only platform for women constitution makers and peacebuilders to exchange their experiences and support inclusive and gender-sensitive constitution-building and peace processes. 🔑 Key findings 🔹 Inclusive frameworks that integrate conflict resolution, environmental protection, and inclusion of women must be developed and utilized in peace processes and subsequent constitution-making processes. 🔹 Adopting a contextual and differentiated approach to natural resource management is essential. 🔹 Environmental considerations should be integrated into broader economic, policy and legal frameworks.

Developing countries decry broken UN promises on financial resources for #biodiversity. "One set of issues that was not discussed at the Contact Group, despite several Parties raising them at the plenary, was around the need to circumvent the embrace of private sector and blended financing, including market-based instruments (as part of the “all sources” mantra), with a concomitant need to assess their impacts on biodiversity, gender equality and human rights. This is because there is acknowledgement that these measures may not actually result in biodiversity outcomes, or may have adverse impacts on indigenous peoples and local communities, women and youth." "Developed countries such as the European Union, on the other hand, felt that the 2025 target of at least $20 billion per year was within reach. They stressed the importance of mobilizing resources from “all sources”," (all sources = codeword for market based instruments). Rich industrialised countries have no intention of giving any significant amount of money, this is where biodiversity credit schemes come in handy to be able to claim that these countries will provide funding, while in reality they will acquire control over new vast pieces of land in the global south and create a new profitable market for their financial sector. #COP16 #CBD

Market-based solutions to biodiversity loss are unlikely to work because “free-market” thinking plays a large role in driving biodiversity loss. It is unethical for Europe to export the costs of its environmental excesses.

How can we protect the world’s water systems? Access to safe water is central to ensuring human rights and gender equality and solving the climate and ecological crisis. Our survey ,the Global Consultation Process, 2024 showed that 56% of the respondents had no confidence in current political leaders to deliver net zero by 2025. Experts are increasingly concerned that conflicts over water will become a reality with 2.4 billion people living in water-stressed countries. (UNGA 2023) How can young leaders better protect and fairly distribute the world’s water supply? At #OYW24, you will hear from five inspirational young leaders who are advocating and innovating for better water conservation to ensure water equity. 🌟 Oladosu Adenike, Climate Justice Leader 🌟 Annie L., Co-Founder and CEO of H2OK Innovations 🌟 Emma Oliver, Environmental Conservationist and Tutor 🌟 Gabriel Nagel, Inaugural Chairperson of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's National Environmental Youth Advisory Council 🌟 Sheherazade (Shera), Co-Director of PROGRES Learn more about them here: https://bit.ly/3zi9CRt

In line with the GEF Council approval of the MedProgramme and the GEF CEO endorsement of its related Child Projects (GEF IDs: 9684, 9717, 9687, 9685, 9670, 10158, 9686) the MedProgramme is executing a specific Gender Mainstreaming Strategy (GM Strategy) aimed at: i) providing an overarching and harmonized “Gender Mainstreaming Strategy” for the MedProgramme; ii) supporting and building capacity of Child Projects as they implement the Strategy through gender-responsive actions within the specific context of each project; iii) monitoring implementation advancements and consistency, as well as cohesion and complementarity of gender focus across the entire portfolio; and iv) benefitting, over the long term, the UNEP/MAP system, by serving as an entry point and testing ground for mainstreaming gender in the programme of work of UNEP/MAP. #genderequality #employment #jobs UNOPS
