Climate Change

The Board of the Green Climate Fund, meeting in Bali, Indonesia from February 19-21 for the sixth time, will discuss an options paper presented by the Secretariat on what a gender-sensitive approach for the climate instrument will mean. 

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) has a mandate to fund mitigation and adaption action in developing countries while "taking a gender-sensitive approach."  With the Fund Board set to discuss and decide the vision, objectives and business model for the Fund, this paper makes a case for mainstreaming gender into the processes and financing of the GCF in conjunction with these decisions.

This videodocumentary shows how women on the countryside and in urban areas try to improve their situation by being geared to ecological principles. Further they are engaged in politics, too.
