Feminist solutions in a just transition

Decarbonization pathways are globally connected, and decisions for a just transition in the Global North impact just transitions in Global South countries. This event focuses on examples of positive and negative impacts of current decarbonization projects and puts them into a bigger picture. It draws from a recent study on nickel production in Indonesia and its impacts on local communities and gender equality. As well as introduce experiences from women-led and feminist decarbonization initiatives: from how to use feminist participatory action research to base local decarbonization initiatives on local women's needs to sharing local experiences from 10 years of gender just climate solutions. To emphasize the interconnectedness of feminist approaches, the discussion will also touch on how just transition efforts intersect with ecosystem protection and biodiversity, reflecting coherences across the Rio Conventions and to comment on the gender action plan negotiations to connect the UNFCCC decisions to real impacts on the ground.
