At COP28, the side event titled “Women’s Leadership in Locally led Adaption” discussed climate and gender in Bangladesh.

Gender Equality Day at the COP28 UN Climate Change Conference yesterday featured a series of special events and announcements.

Only 15 out of the 133 world leaders participating in COP28 are women.

Demands for equal representation of women at the UN climate negotiations are getting louder – but action plans need funding.

Global negotiations often sideline gender as a “women’s issue” rather than being essential to the response.

The Women’s Climate Assembly (WCA) gathered women from 15 nations across the continent.
