This year’s Commission on the Status of Women (CSW66) focuses on achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls in the context of climate change, environmental and disaster risk reduction policies and programmes.
IFAD integrates gender concerns into its work to increase the equitable and sustainable climate resilience of rural communities, with a focus on rural women and girls.
