Financing mitigation and adaptation, combating deforestation, and the future climate regime, these three issues will re-evaluated from a gender perspective. I. a., women hit the narrow focus on market based
mechanisms, calling for sustainable and equitable financing schemes, and women strongly reject the limited perception of forests as carbon stores, proposing solutions taking account of the full value of forests  for ecosystems and societies.

Activists from women's organisations and groups from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe will explain women's doubts and demands.

Speakers:
  • Ulrike Roehr, genanet - Focal Point Gender, Environment, Sustainability, Germany / coordinator of the global network gendercc -- Women for Climate Justice
  • Rachel Nampinga, Gender and Climate Change Network Afrika / Ecowatch Uganda
