From Biodiversity Action to Ecological Justice: The CBD Women’s Caucus at the Biodiversity Policy and Alliance Building Meeting
From 4–7 July, the CBD Women's Caucus joined the Biodiversity Policy and Alliance Building Meeting in Janda Baik, Malaysia, convened by Third World Network and GYBN. Represented by Meenal Tatpati, the Caucus pushed feminist perspectives into discussions on biodiversity loss ahead of COP17, calling for women to be recognized as rights holders and political actors — and for the Gender Plan of Action and Target 23 to move beyond participation toward real power-sharing and accountability.
