This year at CSW (Commission on the Status of Women) we will examine Pathways to a Feminist Just Transition at a parallel event on Monday, March 14, 10-11:30 EST (Spanish and French interpretation will be provided – register here).
Just Transition is not only about the transfer of the energy sector, it’s a just transition to a new form of society and economic activity. This session will advance the understanding of the potential of a feminist just transition and how it could lead to a higher level policy change and climate justice.
Based on examples, the event will explore what kinds of just transitions hold the potential to achieve a social-ecological transformation and why changing the value of different kinds of work, including unpaid care work, and sectors might be necessary in order to achieve low-carbon sustainable development.
Speakers at this event will include:
Ndivile Mokoena, Gender CC Southern Africa
Dunja Krause, UN Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD)
Melissa Moreano, Critical Geography Collective Ecuador
Lucy Mulenkei, MADRE
David Williams, Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung Climate Justice Program (facilitator)
