SB64 Key Demands

Despite the intensifying anti-rights agenda and the rise of conservative governments, the Women and Gender Constituency (WGC) remains unwavering in our pursuit of #FeministClimateJustice for a healthy planet and the wellbeing of our communities. In 2026, we are focused on advancing rights and amplifying feminist analysis and narratives. We will do this through strategic technical engagement in policy processes and direct negotiations via our thematic working groups, as well as through bold public-facing media engagement and manifestations inside the halls of SB64 and COP31.

As we push forward, we will take deliberate action to prevent harm, resist regression on hard-won commitments, and safeguard progressive language. We will also seize global moments to mobilize, reconnect, and stand in solidarity with our members and the broader global feminist movement within UNFCCC processes and beyond.

WGC Main Priorities for SB64

1. Gender: The WGC will contribute to the effective implementation of the Belém Gender Action Plan, particularly through strategic, tailored engagement and advocacy in the SB64 deliverables. This will entail: strengthening the role of National Gender and Climate Change Focal Point (NGCCFP); bringing feminist perspectives into the collection, production and dissemination of gender- and age-disaggregated data; and pushing for concrete action on gender-responsive climate action.
2. Adaptation: The WGC will engage strategically and tactically to ensure that the Global Goal on Adaptation includes an implementation plan via the Belém-Addis Vision that centers robust gender responsiveness that reflects the lived experiences and needs of women, gender-diverse people, and marginalized groups in all their diversities. All of our adaptation advocacy will be centered on the principles of Locally Led Adaptation, highlighting community-centered solutions and the role of women- and gender-diverse-led activities. 
3. Just Transition: Investing in reimagining and shaping the ideals of a feminist Just Transition away from fossil fuels, while developing practical resources and tools to support advocates and governments in its implementation. We will also collaborate with allies to deliver a just transition escalation in 2026, including the establishment of the Belém Antalya Mechanism and shaping the second phase of the Just Transition Work Programme. 
4. Reforming UNFCCC: The WGC will lead efforts to make COP governance, processes, and physical spaces gender-transformative, while working in solidarity with others to confront critical and existential challenges, including rules of procedure, corporate capture, the expo-like nature of COPs, and the broader crisis facing multilateralism.

WGC Mobilization Priorities 

The WGC will prioritize public actions, campaigns, and protests related to:

1. Ending genocide everywhere and challenging militarism
2. Gender Justice: #ActOnBelemGAP
3. Resourcing adaptation implementation
4. A feminist Just Transition
5. Reforming the UNFCCC, calling for multilateral space free from anti-rights, conservatism, and corporate capture.
