Biodiversity and climate policies and actions are not gender neutral. Gender inequality, the drivers and impacts of climate change, and biodiversity loss are deeply interconnected and often reinforce one another. However, when addressed in an integrated and strategic manner, these issues have the potential to generate a positive multiplier effect, advancing gender equality while enhancing the effectiveness and sustainability of environmental outcomes. Recongnising this, the International Climate Initiative (IKI) has identified gender equality as a key success factor in its operational approach. Gender justice is embedded in both the objectives and implementation of IKI projects, ensuring that climate and biodiversity actions are inclusive, equitable, and impactful.
This knowledge product, named “Gender Mainstreaming in Biodiversity and Climate Policies and Actions: Insights from IKI Projects in Viet Nam” has been developed to foster cross-learning and knowledge exchange among IKI implementers. It documents practical experiences, gender-responsive approaches, achievements, and lessons learned from mainstreaming gender into project operations.
