Addressing global stakeholders now engaged in COP27, researchers from CGIAR and the Climate and Development Knowledge Network come together to call for radical collaborations to achieve climate justice for women, girls and marginalized communities.
Calling for climate justice at COP27

In addition, women’s advocates, youth groups, representatives of local and Indigenous communities will be asking, how can we also make sure that climate action will be gender just? How can we ensure that women, youth and marginalized communities, who are disproportionately impacted by climate change, are at the heart of COP27 discussions and interventions?
