The best part about attending the #Bonn meetings? Being part of the #CollectiveAction for #FeministClimateJustice! However, now that the #SB60 climate negotiations have come to an end, we're disappointed at the lack of progress for #ClimateJustice. We had expected action to strengthen and renew the Lima Work Programme on Gender and its Gender Action Plan to better address #HumanRights, including #SRHR. Parties seem to forget that lives are at stake and we are counting on their leadership to address the #ClimateCrisis and the gender injustices it perpetuates. But we are hopeful — and we'll continue to advocate for #ClimateAction at #COP29 where the negotiations will continue. #SRHRClimate
