Offering practicable and candid guidance for incorporating gender equality considerations into climate finance instruments, specifically targeting the gender & energy nexus.
Showcasing and amplifying successful examples of gender integration within climate-blended finance vehicles that target the energy sector.
FORMAT
This 90-minute webinar includes a presentation summarizing key findings from the Convergence and CPI report on the Gender and energy nexus within climate finance and practical advice on integrating gender considerations into climate finance instruments.
