SEEK participated in the UNFCCC PCCB 5th Capacity Building Hub at COP28 🌱🌍
On December 9th 2023, SEEK took part in the Capacities For Rights-Based Climate Action Day at COP28. Alongside The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), SEEK's session 'Refugee Women, Climate Action and the Green Economy' covered a range of important issues.
In collaboration with New Women Connectors and our CoFe Tables Project, SEEK proposed the
following five essential approaches to ensure feminist leadership in climate justice:
(1) Ensure equal participation of women in high-level platforms of policy-making.
(2) Promote feminist perspectives.
(3) Disseminate information to women about their rights and available resources.
(4) Remove barriers to women's participation in climate policy-making.
(5) Develop equitable funding channels for women-led organisations.
