In the face of unprecedented, accelerating biodiversity loss, global GDP is set to be reduced by $2.7T by 2030 due to the loss of pollination, fisheries, and tropical forestry alone. Women and girls worldwide, particularly in marginalized communities, face disproportionate impacts from this biodiversity loss—but are spearheading conservation efforts and have uniquely valuable insights to bring to the table. Dive into the wide-ranging impacts of biodiversity loss on economies and societies, the benefits of greater investment in women-led efforts, and the value of gender-sensitive policymaking in FP Analytics’ new issue brief, produced with support from Daughters for Earth

With the 2030 deadline for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) rapidly approaching and the international community moving closer to both the global warming threshold cautioned against in the Paris Agreement and climate-related biodiversity tipping points, the under-representation of women and girls from diverse backgrounds and at all societal levels could be disastrous. Foreign Policy Fully realizing the environmental and socioeconomic benefits of women’s leadership in biodiversity conservation will require breaking down silos within and between sectors, expanding investments, and closing funding gaps for women-led conservation efforts while amplifying the impactful women-led work that is already underway globally. Protecting Biodiversity and Driving Development Through Women’s Leadership: Strategies to Scale up the Mutually Reinforcing Benefits of gender equality and Environmental Conservation analyzes the multifaceted and disproportionate impacts of biodiversity loss on women and girls and explores how women are driving conservation. https://lnkd.in/eaPugrRu #thehummingbirdeffect #fpanalytics #daughtersforearth #foreignpolicy

If there was ever a time to listen to, respect, and stand with Indigenous communities on the frontlines of protecting our planet, it is now. Nemonte Nenquimo's memoir We Will Be Jaguars/We Will Not Be Saved, coauthored with Mitch Anderson, powerfully reflects her Indigenous upbringing, the clash of cultures, and her courageous fight to protect the Amazon rainforest. It's a story of resilience, cultural pride, and the urgent need to safeguard the Earth. Get your copy here: https://lnkd.in/erxQ8gbj #thehummingbirdeffect #daughtersforearth #womenforclimatechange

The problems we’re facing—climate change and biodiversity loss—aren’t going be solved with the same old ideas. It’s time to shake things up, look at things from fresh angles, and take bold action. Women are already out there, leading the way and showing us how it’s done! #thehummingbirdeffect #daughtersforearth #womenforclimatechange

Our time at #NewYorkClimateWeek has ended and we leave inspired by the numerous allies and partners joining hands to advance solutions for the growing threat of #ExtremeHeat to women’s health, livelihoods, and economies worldwide.   The camaraderie was so energizing and inspiring - we all know that working to address the effects of climate change can be overwhelming. We thank the many partners, colleagues, and organizations who joined our convenings and those who invited us to share our messages and perspectives at theirs. We also want to share our appreciation for CRA’s Board for coming together this week.   One of the most concerning aspects of Climate Week is that the conversations continue to center around decarbonization and the energy transition. While both are incredibly urgent to address, there is an almost desperate urgency to ALSO focus on adaptation and resilience. With hundreds of millions of low-income people — especially women — currently exposed to rising temperatures, lost income, extended droughts, water and food shortages, physiological damage, and dramatically increased gender-based violence and mental health effects – we must move at the pace and scale of the problem.   We also need to recognize that in most cases climate conversations and decisions: 🔴 Continue to leave women out of the decision-making process. 🔴 Fail to acknowledge the disproportionate impact that climate change—particularly heat—is having on women.  🔴 Fail to recognize that equal representation for women is key to solving the climate crisis.  💚Can be changed to make things right!   Summer 2024 in the Northern Hemisphere is officially the hottest on record, a harsh warning of the climate crisis continues to expand.    CRA will continue to push the conversation toward immediate actions, focusing on scaling evidence-based interventions with partners, advancing financing and investment in inclusive cooling and heat adaptation, and co-creating and delivering heat resilience for women and vulnerable communities.   As the planet warms, the future of women is inseparable from the future of our world, and we will only achieve resilience when women are climate resilient.    Thank you, Rachel Kyte, Emma Howard Boyd CBE Veronica Scotti Mary Ellen Iskenderian Self Employed Women's Association Clare Ballantine Kathy Baughman McLeod Global Centre for Climate Mobility Diana Guzman Humanity Insured Charlie Langdale Emilie Mazzacurati Valeria Ramundo Orlando Leslie Johnston, M.Sc.
