WHO
The information sessions are planned to provide information on the Monitoring Framework to engage with Parties and Major Stakeholders. It will also present the draft indicator methodology to be refined. This event is open to parites and stakeholders attending SBSTTA26. Teams from UNEP-WCMC, and Women4biodiversity will lead the discussion.
WHY
The KM-GBF recognizes the need to reduce inequalities for its successful implementation by honouring the essential role of gender equality and empowerment of women and girls. Target 23 has been adopted to ensure a gender-responsive implementation of the framework, and the CBD has developed a Gender Plan of Action to help parties adopt a gender-responsive approach. However, there is a need for a clear methodology in place to monitor the progress of Target 23. This in-person information sessions aim to aid the process of refining the draft indicator methodology.
