Webinar: Mobilizing IPCC Evidence on Gender, Equity, and Justice in Climate Change Adaptation
About the event
The 6th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) – Working Group II on Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability includes more references to gender, equity, and justice than any previous IPCC report. This evidence is needed by policy-makers and practitioners working to advance climate change adaptation; however, the length and technical nature of the IPCC reports make it difficult to capture and apply the key messages. In this webinar, IPCC authors, researchers, practitioners, and advocates will discuss the key findings of the IPCC related to gender, equity, and justice and explore how they can be applied, towards more just and effective adaptation.
The webinar is organized by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), with support from AdaptAction, a program of the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) Group.
