What are the gender issues that practitioners and policy makers should address when advancing nature-based solutions around water? What opportunities exist to work towards gender equality in this realm? What practical steps can be taken? To address these questions, this session will facilitate exchange and learning about gender-responsive project and policy design in water and ecosystems management and conservation. Drawing from examples of ongoing work around the world, speakers will propose a variety of perspectives to stimulate an interactive discussion with participants and propose the building blocks of a call to action.
