Gender

The Gender Interest Group of EnPAx brings together individuals and institutions committed to ensuring that intersectional gender perspectives are fully incorporated into environmental peacebuilding approaches. The Gender Interest Group is committed to the principles of inclusion and diversity and to addressing the broad range of gendered experiences and identities in its work and deliberations. Specifically, the Gender Interest Group (GIG) seeks to strengthen understanding of the gender dimensions of environmental peacebuilding, to advance research and learning on this topic, and to foster an inclusive and collaborative network that bridges existing communities of practice. The Gender Interest Group will follow closely the developments in international and national policies related to gender, security and environment, including climate action; it will also seek to identify and document approaches that respond effectively to the challenges and opportunities presented by this nexus, including planning, monitoring, and learning practices and systems. Additionally, the Gender Interest Group will strive to coordinate advocacy and outreach on these topics.

This interest group is open to all EnPAx Association members interested in gender, environment, security, conflict, and peace. Please visit our Gender Interest Group website for more information: Gender, Natural Resources, and Peace, where you can find a significant compilation of publications and resources from around the world and a specialized monthly Newsletter with the most up-to-date information.
