NEW! A Resource Kit: Climate Change Connections

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

New York–Climate Change Connections, a comprehensive resource kit on gender, population and climate change, was launched today by the United Nations Populations Fund (UNFPA) and the Women’s Environment and Development Organization (WEDO).

The resource kit presents an overview of gender and climate change in the context of policy, finance, adaptation plans, best practices, and advocacy tools. It argues for a new convergence in thinking and practice that aligns the efforts of governments, aid organizations, and the general public, to ensure that women contribute to and benefit from equitable climate solutions.
