COP30 Engagement and Advocacy

Despite the rise of anti-rights agendas and the rollback of hard-won gains, the Women and Gender Constituency (WGC) remains unwavering in our pursuit of feminist climate justice, for the health of our planet and the wellbeing of our communities.

Throughout 2025, we are advancing rights and amplifying feminist analysis and narratives through two interconnected strategies:

Policy advocacy and negotiation — driving technical engagement within UNFCCC processes through our thematic working groups on Gender, Adaptation, Just Transition, Finance, and more.
Public mobilization and movement-building — creating powerful spaces for feminist visibility and collective resistance inside and outside the COP halls, from the Global Week of Action to Gender Justice Day in Belém.

As we move toward COP30 in Brazil, we are taking deliberate action to prevent harm, resist regression on commitments, and safeguard progressive language, while building alliances that reflect care, solidarity, and intersectional justice.
