Collaborative Production

The shaping, writing, editing, production, dissemination and follow-up of the Gender and Climate Change CEP involves collaboration between a number of partners and other experts (particularly Southern-based), including the BRIDGE International Advisory Committee and the BRIDGE team.

Key people involved in the programme are:

Meeting face to face and online

An initial two-day face-to-face meeting established the framing of the CEP and an initial plan. Please see the key resources box for the full workshop report. Further discussions and communications are supported by the Eldis Gender and Climate Change Community Group  which we would love you to join.

We have also utilised the Eldis community site to host an Advisers Group. This is a closed group to the public but please look round the site as there are lots of groups on climate change including:

• Community Based Adaptation Exchange
• Joto Afrika

Key processes of collaboration include:

• Facilitated e-discussion with policymakers and practitioners working on gender and climate change from across the world
• Interviews with leading experts from the regions
• Networking with people working on the issues
• Dedicated online space for the programme

BRIDGE at COP 16, Cancun, Mexico

BRIDGE and LIFE hosted a UNFCCC side event called ‘Innovating and inspiring new thinking on the social dimensions of Climate change’ at COP 16.

It was a panel session which discussed what rationales are behind climate change debates and how they linked to gendered roles, knowledge and responsibilities, as well as looking at emerging messages from the gender and Climate change cutting edge pack. Panellists included Ulrike Rohr, Simone Lovera and Tracy Raczek.

We received some really positive feedback on the session and it was fantastic to see the interest on gender and climate change from experts in different fields.
