SUMMARY:From Knowledge to Practice: Mainstreaming Gender Equality and Social Inclusion in Nature-Based Solutions for Adaptation
DESCRIPTION:Nature-based solutions (NbS) are an opportunity to address climate change adaptation needs\, but initiatives need to be responsive to intersectional gender differences to be effective. Gender-responsive NbS can help to address underlying vulnerabilities to climate change\, enabling populations who face socio-economic\, cultural\, and political barriers to build their adaptation capacity\, realize their rights\, and participate in adaptation decision-making while also building the resilience of local ecosystems that sustain their livelihoods. \nOn October 19\, join the Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC) and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) for a hybrid event on designing and implementing NbS that advance gender equality and social inclusion (GESI). The event will include presentations\, a panel discussion with experts\, followed by a Q&A\, and interactive discussion groups both online and in-person. It will be followed by a meeting of the Nature-Based Solutions for Climate and Biodiversity Community of Practice\, organized by Global Affairs Canada\, IISD\, and the Community of Practice’s steering committee. \nThis event is the third in a series that explores the multiple social and environmental dimensions of NbS for adaptation. Find out more about our previous events: \n\nFrom Knowledge to Practice: Advancing Biodiversity-Positive Nature-Based Climate Solutions\nFrom Knowledge to Practice: Advancing Gender-Responsive Nature-Based Climate Solutions.\n\nKey Information for Attendees : \n\nWhen you register\, please indicate your interest in attending in person at the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat or attending online (Zoom) by selecting the relevant ticket option.\nIn-person attendees are welcome to arrive by 8:30 a.m. EDT to network and enjoy light refreshments prior to Session 1.\nA light lunch will be provided for those attending both sessions in person.\nSimultaneous interpretation in English and French will be available throughout the event.\n\nSpeakers to be announced. \nQuestions? Please contact akfc.events@akdn.org \nAbout the organizers \nThis event is co-hosted by AKFC and IISD as part of AKFC’s Speaker Series on Climate Change Resilience and Adaptation and IISD’s Nature for Climate Adaptation Initiative (NCAI)\, supported by Global Affairs Canada. It is the third in a series of events focused on NbS for adaptation. \nAKFC’s Speaker Series on Climate Change Resilience and Adaptation \nThe series aims to bring together practitioners\, advocates\, and others who share an interest in exploring and discussing how we may use the climate crisis as a catalyst for great leaps in addressing the complex challenges involved in confronting climate change in a manner that advances sustainable development\, well-being\, and resilient livelihoods for all. \nIISD’s Nature for Climate Adaptation Initiative (NCAI) \nThe NCAI strengthens the knowledge and capacity of civil society organizations to design and implement NbS for climate change adaptation through three key tools: \n\na self-paced\, accessible e-learning course\nan online learning space with technical guidance\, resources\, case studies\, and events\ntargeted virtual and in-person learning exchange opportunities that foster a community of practice.\n\nNature-Based Solutions for Climate and Biodiversity Community of Practice \nThe Nature-Based Solutions for Climate and Biodiversity Community of Practice brings together organizations in Canada and their international partners to share their insights and expertise on implementing NbS for adaptation. It initiated following the Government of Canada’s announcement of allocating climate finance funding to NbS for adaptation projects that enhance gender equality and social inclusion and contribute to biodiversity co-benefits. \nRegister Today!\n  \nQuestions?
