How are gender and climate justice related? And why do they matter? The latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) informs us on ways to adapt to the rapidly changing climatic conditions. This event discusses why gender matters for climate change, moving away from well-established ideas of differential vulnerability to growing calls for gender-transformative adaptation.

The IPCC assessment shows that gender and other social inequities worsen vulnerability to climate change impacts. This session discusses the main ingredients of gender transformative adaptation pathways under a climate justice framework. The session is designed to be participatory in nature with quizzes, role plays, videos from grassroots Global South voices, panel discussions and discussion with the audience to inform and learn from the experiences of the participants.
