Events on gender equality and women’s empowerment at COP 24

Promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women will be a key feature of the UN Climate Change Conference in Poland this year. COP 24 marks the half way point of the Gender Action Plan (GAP) established at COP 23 under the Lima work programme on gender and there will be many events and activities highlighting action in support of the GAP. 

The annual UNFCCC Gender Day is dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of gender-responsive climate policy and action as well as highlighting women’s contribution and leadership in climate action. This year Gender Day will #ActOnTheGAP. Events listed in this calendar include events in the Global Climate Action area (area A), PCCB Capacity Building Hub (area E) and in Pavilions (area H). The very many side events on gender can be found here.
