Climate change is the foremost crisis of the 21st century, with devastating environmental, economic, and social impacts. It affects everyone, but the impacts are unequal and the burden of climate change falls to those who have least contributed to it, particularly girls and women. Climate justice is not possible without systems change. This Pre-Conference will bring together diverse climate actors who prioritize gender equality and take a climate justice, gender justice, intersectional, and human rights-based approach. Climate actors who don’t often come together will have the opportunity to share research and analysis, discuss policy priorities and campaigns, center frontline experiences, and coordinate for urgent needed action. Topics of discussion will include climate finance, loss and damage, policy pathways, gender just transition, and transformative solutions.
