Putting Women at the Center of Adaptation Investments: The Potential of the CRPP

15 November 2022

The Community Resilience Partnership Program aims to scale up investments in climate adaptation that address the nexus of climate, poverty and gender. The Program has established a gender window, the aim of which is to go beyond mainstreaming gender considerations in adaptation projects and to promote women-centered adaptation investments. Such investments recognize women’s role as “agents of change” in driving resilience. The session will engage a range of stakeholders including grassroot women’s leaders, policy makers, financial institutions, philanthropy and research organizations, in a dialogue to identify approaches and measures that the gender widow of the CRPP can adopt to overcome barriers and scale up women-centered adaptation investments.
