About the event
As the energy transition accelerates, the impacts of transition minerals extraction and fossil fuel phase-down are unevenly distributed, often disproportionately affecting women and marginalised communities in resource-rich countries.
This webinar, to be held during London Climate Action Week in a collaboration between Natural Resource Governance Institute, Resource Justice Network, and the Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, Metals and Sustainable Development will bridge global climate action on minerals governance and lived realities, bringing together civil society, governance institutions, and the private sector to explore how gender inequality shapes, and is shaped by, extractive governance and energy transitions.
The discussion will focus on three core pillars:
- Women’s meaningful participation in decision-making on transition mineral governance
- Gender-responsive and equitable resource distribution in just transition processes
- Gender-disaggregated data and accountability
Positioned after UNFCCC SB64 and ahead of Climate Week NYC and COP31, the session aims to sharpen the narrative: gender equity is not peripheral but essential to delivering just energy transition processes.
