COP 16 | Debating the Merits of Gender-Responsive Nature-based Solutions for Adaptation
This event, as part of the Women Pavilion at CBD COP 16 in Cali, Colombia, will be a debate about integrating gender considerations into nature-based solutions (NbS) for adaptation.
About the event
Climate change affects our natural environment and can result in the loss of nature. These changes impact people in different ways depending on who they are and how their identity influences their position in society. Recent evidence shows that NbS for adaptation are more effective when gender issues are considered and delivered in a gender-responsive manner. The event will be a debate between the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and Youth4Nature regarding the integration of gender considerations into NbS for adaptation.
The debate will be introduced to the audience and a provocative debate position will be selected and shared: “Integrating gender considerations in NbS for adaptation is easy, we just aren’t trying hard enough”. One organization will argue the merits of the position, while the other will oppose it. Time will be allocated for the debaters to provide rebuttals to one another. Before wrapping up, the debaters will engage in a closing Q&A and will host a short plenary discussion with the audience on the debate position topic.
