Brief: Advancing the intersections of gender, climate, peace, and security through the women, peace and security framework

This brief provides a summary of the upcoming policy paper, highlighting the women, peace and security (WPS) agenda as a comprehensive framework for addressing the intersections of gender, climate change, peace, and security.

Structured around the four pillars of the WPS agenda, it offers context-specific examples that illustrate women’s participation in climate-related security issues, the creation of protection mechanisms for women peacebuilders and environmental human rights defenders, the enhancement of preventive strategies, and the delivery of relief and recovery services.

It outlines concrete recommendations to amplify women’s solutions to climate-related security risks and identifies opportunities to promote the co-benefits of gender equality, enhance climate resilience, and sustain peace.
