Gender Equity and Resource Governance: Bridging Lived Realities to Global Climate Action

As the energy transition accelerates, the impacts of transition minerals extraction and fossil fuel phase-down are unevenly distributed, often disproportionately affecting women and marginalised communities in resource-rich countries. These women’s lived realities must be centred in global climate and energy transition negotiations and processes. 

Diving into examples from resource producer countries including Madagascar, Zambia and Colombia, and gathering civil society, governance institutions, and the private sector, this session during London Climate Action Week will help us understand the current progress and gaps in gender-responsive resource governance, and the upcoming global advocacy opportunities where we can collectively push for a gender-just energy transition. 

Speakers:

• Joëlle Ravelomanantsoa, Executive Secretary, Resource Justice Network Madagascar
• Edah Chimya, Executive Director, Zambia Alliance of Women / Publish What You Pay Zambia
• Juliana Peña Niño, Colombia Country Manager, Natural Resource Governance Institute 
• Jacqueline Taquiri, Senior Policy Advisor, Tax and Extractives, IGF
• Zoe Brent, Researcher, United Nations Research Institute for Social Development

This webinar is co-organised by the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI), Resource Justice Network and the IGF.
