Add eventAppleGoogleOffice 365OutlookOutlook.comYahoo
The only way to guarantee a just transition is by ensuring that land and environmental defenders, activists and impacted communities, including Indigenous Peoples, have safe access to civic space and meaningfully participate in climate decision-making. We must ensure the world does not switch from one model of extraction and exploitation to another.
During this event speakers and audience members will share experiences, discuss solutions and explore opportunities for collaboration.

Let’s bridge the gender divide in green jobs
Reimagining solutions for a green and gender-equal labor market
DECEMBER 8, 17.15–18.00 (UTC+4)
Add eventAppleGoogleOffice 365OutlookOutlook.comYahoo
In the Nordic Region only one in three Nordic workers in green jobs is a woman. As we shift our focus and funding to green solutions, the lack of women in green jobs risks increasing the gender pay gap. But does it really have to come at the expense of gender equality? This panel event will discuss gender barriers and opportunities to green jobs and how green jobs can be reimagined for a green and gender-equal labor market.
