The Regional Pathways to Climate Resilience (REGILIENCE) project has announced a new strategy for gender mainstreaming and created a working group to guarantee that gender equality and inclusiveness is considered throughout all activities of the project.

Gender plays a key role in resilience building and sustainable development. Vulnerabilities, exposure to risks, and social capacities towards disasters are very much related to gender roles and norms. Understanding these conditions leads to a more inclusive and sustainable climate resilience plan where no one is left behind.
