CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform Newsletter, November-December 2022, issue 3
(Newsletter, 2022-12-14) CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform
In this issue, we share with you latest news from the CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform as well as updates on gender research from across CGIAR's research portfolio. We feature highlights from the 27th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP27), where the CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform presented insights on how women and girls can transform food systems for climate resilience. We also share an interview with Aditi Mukherji, Director, CGIAR Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Impact Area Platform on what COP27 meant for gender equality, youth and social inclusion. Looking back at the CGIAR GENDER Science Exchange 2022, we share highlights from select sessions -- including on how communities of practice can accelerate gender research and ideas for how to engage rural youth in food systems. Updates from across CGIAR include an analysis calling the newly established fund for Loss and Damage “an empty glass waiting to be filled”; the promising potential of targeted video-based extension to boost women’s adoption of key climate-smart technologies; and a myth-busting paper on the 'feminization of agriculture' that digs out kernels of truth.
How COP27 can deliver climate justice for rural women
(Opinion Piece, 2022-03-08) Haan, Nicoline C. de
Households in Bangladesh, where women have equal participation in decision-making, are more likely to grow a greater range of crops, a key strategy for minimising the risk that climate change poses to food security and nutrition. Women are also more likely to raise locally adapted livestock breeds that are inherently more resilient to climate stress. To drive such changes in other places – and deliver climate justice for millions of rural women – the $100 billion a year richer nations have promised to deliver in climate finance must be directed toward the worst impacted women, and men, in the most affected regions of the world. Campaigners and governments in low-income countries will have great expectations for this year’s COP27 climate talks that the $100 billion promised in 2009 will finally materialise. The UN conference, hosted by Egypt, will also be an opportunity to build on the recognition at COP26 that women and girls both face a disproportionate burden from climate change, and represent unfulfilled potential in adapting to its consequences.
CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform Newsletter, April-May 2022, issue 1
(Newsletter, 2022-05-17) CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform
In this issue, we share with you latest news from the CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform as well as updates on gender research from across CGIAR's research portfolio. We shine a spotlight on the importance of better research methods for maximum gender equality impacts. For example, tools for measuring women's empowerment must produce precise, comparable results to enable us to track progress toward women’s empowerment across projects, sectors and regions. Also a new CGIAR GENDER working paper offers guidance on how to integrate gender considerations in value chain development projects. Another highlight is a list of top 10 reads on gender and entrepreneurship.

CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform Newsletter, issue 2, June-July 2022
(Newsletter, 2022-07-26) CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform
In this issue, we share with you latest news from the CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform as well as updates on gender research from across CGIAR's research portfolio. This newsletter lessons from past crises that can help ensure an inclusive, gender-equitable response to today’s global food security emergency. We also highlight recent work to map climate–agriculture–gender inequality hotspots where climate hazards converge with large concentrations of women participating in food systems and significant structural gender inequalities, enabling investors to allocate scarce resources to most-at-risk populations. Updates from gender researchers across CGIAR include a roadmap for investors on how to mainstream gender-smart investing to scale climate-smart agriculture, a framework for gender-sensitive resilience interventions and a study in India that used storytelling to reveal who does what in wheat farming.
International Women’s Day 2022 newsletter
(Newsletter, 2022-03-08) CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform
On International Women’s Day 2022, we highlight how women and girls in agriculture and food systems are contributing to a sustainable tomorrow – in particular by playing important roles in climate change adaptation, mitigation and response.
Three things scientists don’t know about women farmers and climate change but really should
(Blog Post, 2022-06-08) Puskur, Ranjitha; Deering, Karl
Just how well agriculture and food systems can cope with rising temperatures, floods and other climate shocks and stresses will be determined first and foremost by how much both women and men farmers can adapt to climate change. Farmers need to be supported to continue building resilient food systems that can nourish and sustain lives despite rising challenges, which have been compounded by setbacks such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. However, researchers do not currently know if existing solutions to climate change really do work for women or if they have only been designed primarily with men and their context in mind.
Wanted - women's empowerment guidelines to fight food crisis
(Opinion Piece, 2022-10-25) Haan, Nicoline C. de
At the current rate, the world will not achieve gender equality for another 300 years. This lack of progress is holding back food systems and contributing to the current food crisis. Recent assessments found that women’s chances of being food insecure were about 27% higher than men’s globally. Considering this gap is expected to rise given the current state of the global food system, one critical step is establishing women’s empowerment guidelines to help countries combat the looming food crisis.
