United Nations Association UK will bring together a panel of experts on 10 November in an online event to discuss the gender-climate-security nexus, and how the global community can better integrate agendas in these areas to address risks posed to those most vulnerable.
This is both the year of 26th UN Climate Change Conference of Parties (COP 26) and also marks the 21st anniversary year of Women, Peace and Security (WPS) bringing together the same set of actors to achieve the goal of gender equality and women’s participation. There is an urgent need for the WPS agenda to intersect with the risks posed by climate change to women and girls’ peace and security in conflict and post-conflict settings.
