Today, December 10, is Gender Day at COP25 in Madrid. Women and girls around the world are demanding more climate action, and there is increased recognition of their leadership. (We're looking at you, Greta Thunberg!) However, in climate decision-making, women have not been equally represented. At COP25, the male Chair of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) said, "there has not been sufficient progress in the area of women’s full, equal and meaningful participation in the UNFCCC process." The UN Climate Change secretariat reports annually on the gender composition of representatives to track progress towards gender balance in advancing gender-sensitive climate policy.
