CBD COP16’ outcomes from a gender lens

c1652146 — Sun, 22 Dec 2024 00:21:30 +0000

This article, presented by the CBD Women’s Caucus, provides an in-depth analysis of the CBD COP16 outcomes through a gender justice lens, celebrating achievements and identifying gaps as we prepare for COP17.

COP16 was the first implementation-focused COP under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). Key decisions on resource mobilisation, monitoring, and National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) were expected. While hailed as a “People’s COP,” critical gaps in integrating human rights and gender justice persist.

Next Steps for Gender Justice in Biodiversity Policy

As we look toward COP17, the CBD Women’s Caucus calls on Parties to:

1. Embed Human Rights: Integrate human rights and gender-responsive policies as core principles in biodiversity governance.

2. Inclusive NBSAPs: Ensure women, youth, and Indigenous Peoples and local communities actively participate in planning, implementation, and monitoring.

3. Gender-Responsive Monitoring: Develop robust indicators and collect gender-disaggregated data to track progress effectively.

4. Strengthen Gender Focal Points: Support gender and biodiversity focal points with adequate resources for coordination and policy delivery.

5. Equitable Resource Mobilisation: Ensure financial mechanisms are accessible, fair, and prioritise historically marginalised groups.

6. Gender-responsive Capacity Building: Facilitate women’s engagement in biodiversity governance via targeted capacity-building and networking.
