GenderCC – Women for Climate Justice e.V. invites to an online conference presenting the results of the IKI project “Gender into Urban Climate Change Initiative”.
Cities are key actors for the implementation of climate adaptation and mitigation policies. Yet, while the Paris Agreement is calling for the consideration of gender equality when taking action to address climate change, urban policies are still lacking of a gender perspective. Therefore, GenderCC’s “Gender Into Urban Climate Change Initiative” (GUCCI) has explored options for integrating gender and social aspects. In the conference, we will present our approach and the resulting recommendations for gender-responsive urban climate action, with the aim of empowering women’s organisations and civil society groups to get involved and push for both ambitious climate policy and the integration of social and gender aspects.
The project’s work focused on 14 pilot cities in four countries: India, Indonesia, Mexico and South Africa, and coordinated by GenderCC - Women for Climate Justice, in a partnership with Equidad de Género (Mexico), All India Women’s Conference (India), GenderCC Southern Africa (South Africa), Aksi! for gender, social & ecological justice and Solidaritas Perempuan (Indonesia).
