Transforming Land Rights and Climate Justice through a Women-led Renegotiated New Social Contract: An Expert Group Meeting Summary Report

Climate change-related threats and land insecurities are increasingly impacting upon disadvantaged communities, especially women and girls. Currently, global climate responses tend to be State-driven and favoring certain technical, research, and professional stakeholders without adequate listening to women and girls – especially at grassroots level. It is in this context that an Expert Group Meeting (EGM) was organized to contributing to the formulation of a new social contract to facilitate women’s climate justice using the experience of women-led land rights initiatives for inclusive and embedded multi-stakeholder partnerships. This publication contains the key exchanges during the EGM, and the “The Quezon City Framework for Developing a Women-Led New Social Contract to Enhance Land Rights and Climate Justice.”
