Enhancing gender equality and social inclusion through climate action

Abstract

Four entry points for action research emerged from this consultation: an intersectional approach to participatory and inclusive research; integration of gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) within climate-resilient development interventions; advancing GESI outcomes by informing institutional and policy action; and enhancing access to resources as well as agency of marginalized groups. Workshop discussions also identified barriers and opportunities to addressing GESI in climate action research, noting that research funding often remains oriented toward scientific achievement and less towards benefitting users.
