ABSTRACT

COP13 in Bali: from a gender perspective, a significant breakthrough was achieved.

For the first time in UNFCCC history, a worldwide network of women, gendercc – women for climate justice, was established. The group published several position papers articulating the women’s and gender perspectives on the most pressing issues under negotiation. And for the first time a range of activities on women’s and gender issues was organized by various organizations and institutions. And they met with interest, increasing awareness, and increased expression of commitment to gender justice from a number of stakeholders.
