What does gender-based violence have to do with tackling climate change – or vice versa? In this webinar, IUCN, USAID, and a wide range of experts and leaders from across disciplines discussed these critical linkages, exploring policy frameworks, leveraging lessons and resources across sectors, and strategies for on-the-ground action to realize rights and resilience, together.

This conversation was held on 25 March 2021, and conducted in English and Spanish, with simultaneous interpretation in English, Spanish and French. This recording reflects the English-language version of the event. Recordings in Spanish and French are available below.


The GBV and Environment Linkages Center is hosted by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) under its Advancing Gender in the Environment (AGENT) partnership with USAID. It works to close the knowledge gap on GBV-environment issues while mobilizing learning and forging collaborative action towards ending GBV and securing environmental sustainability.
AGENT is a collaboration between the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Bureau for Development, Democracy, and Innovation’s Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Hub to increase the effectiveness of environment programming through the robust integration of gender considerations, while improving gender equality and women’s empowerment outcomes in a broad range of environmental sectors.
