🌱 Realizing the #LandRights of women is key to empowering them as the critical land stewards they are in driving action for our climate and biodiversity. 🌎 This is the point of departure for Frederike Klümper from our partner TMG Think Tank for Sustainability and our own expert Laura Rahmeier in their essay published in the new #HerLand publication on the occasion of UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) #COP16 in Riyadh. 💬 Their main call: We need to anchor women's land rights in the frameworks of all three 🇺🇳 UN Rio Conventions, following the example of the UNCCD. This will ensure that people's and especially women's rights are protected and that they have the best chance of advancing sustainable and equitable land management, as commitments on land multiply within the Conventions. Read their article ⤵️ 🔹 to understand why women's land rights and gender equality are central to sustainable land use and global climate and biodiversity goals. 🔹 to be inspired about strategic entry points and actionable pathways for implementing women's land rights at the UN level. 🔹 to learn about the commitment of the Women’s Land Rights Initiative (WLRI) to bridging global commitments with grassroots realities. ➡️ Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/etj7NjmD #HerLand #UNCCD #GenderEquality #COP16Riyadh #OurLandOurFuture #WomensLandRights

Recently, Sonen’s Head of Research, Carolyn Ezelino Ezelino was a panelist at the USAID-led reception on Catalyzing Gender Equity in Climate Finance at #SOCAP24. It was an energizing event bringing together passionate advocates and thought leaders committed to advancing gender equity in climate action. Why prioritize women-led climate initiatives? As Anjani Harjeven from WomenHub put it, “women are connectors…they can have exponential impact within their communities.” The UN reports that communities are more successful in resilience and capacity-building strategies when women are part of the planning process. Women-led solutions don’t just tackle environmental issues, they also address underlying social and economic inequalities, which can have lasting positive impacts on communities.
