CBD Women’s Caucus Submission on the Mid-Term Review of the Gender Plan of Action 2023–2030

The CBD Women’s Caucus submitted views and information in preparation for the mid-term review of the Gender Plan of Action (2023–2030), drawing on contributions from member organisations across Africa, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and globally.

The submission documents the Caucus’s concrete actions under three expected outcomes of the Gender Plan of Action:

• Expected Outcome 1: All people, in particular all women and girls, have equal opportunity and capacity to contribute to the three objectives of the Convention
• Expected Outcome 2: Biodiversity policy, planning and programming decisions address equally the perspectives, interests, needs and human rights of all people, in particular of all women and girls
• Expected Outcome 3: Enabling conditions are created to ensure gender-responsive implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework

It also includes standalone submissions from nine member organisations and a history of the CBD Women’s Caucus.
