Exploring the Role of Gender Equality in Addressing Climate Change, Biodiversity Conservation, Ecosystem Restoration and Food Security

This joint report by the United Nations Environment Programme – International Ecosystem Management Partnership (UNEP-IEMP) and Li-Bird in Nepal analyzes how gender equality has been integrated in policies, institutions, and interventions to address multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
