Time for Action : Inclusion of Gender and SRHR in Climate Action

Categories:

This brief is the culmination of two sub-regional consultations organised by the Asian-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women (ARROW) in 2022 with 35 civil society organisations (CSOs) in South and South East Asia including Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Vietnam.

These CSOs work on issues of climate change, gender and SRHR, and represent diverse identities including but not limited to women, SOGIESC, young people, women with disabilities and indigenous peoples. These CSOs discussed and defined the regional priorities on the intersections of climate change, gender and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), with an aim to demand accountability from decision makers at various national, regional and global spaces that negotiate and decide climate actions.

The findings and demands will also be disseminated at the upcoming 27th Conference of Parties (COP27).
