UN Women & UNEP-WCMC (2022). A gender-responsive post-2020 global biodiversity framework. UNEP-WCMC

The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) and UNEP-WCMC have been working together to strengthen the evidence base for underscoring the linkages between gender and biodiversity. This entails exploring ways to further advance gender equality, women’s empowerment, and women’s rights, alongside biodiversity conservation, sustainable use, and benefit-sharing. To this end and building on past work and previous meetings, UN Women and UNEP-WCMC, in close collaboration with the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD Secretariat), convened an informal workshop to discuss priority issues and opportunities for strengthening the integration of gender considerations in the post-2020 global biodiversity framework and its future implementation.
