At the WAC UNA UK meeting last Thursday I set out my case for specific and measurable gender specific policies to be part of any climate change deal. WEN has been accredited as COP15 participants on behalf of GenderCC and three of us will be blogging from the conference with details of value.
We aim to have a say in the talks and collect research data for WENs forthcoming campaign in February on climate and women. We also hope to highlight the lack of women representatives statistically, and the woeful lack of gender consciousness in the negotiations in all other than the UN itself and gender and development groups. One previous study has found only 7% of the environmental negotiators has been women. At the same time we shall be collecting data and interviewing those women and organisations responsible for some of the most positive actions in support of women and environment in these turbulant times.
