How fair is fair trade to women and marginalized people? A study commissioned by
\n Fairtrade International to assess how effectively Fairtrade initiatives address
\n gender equality revealed that fair markets alone are not enough to motivate
\n gender- equitable benefit sharing. Value chain interventions must also be
\n supported by affirmative actions to both build capacity and create
\n opportunities, such as niche marketing for women\u2019s products, within producer
\n organizations.<\/p>\n

At a COP
\n 25 side event<\/a> sponsored by CIFOR, ICRAF and RECOFTC, experts unpacked the reasons why gender is often treated
\n superficially in climate finance \u2013 despite potential synergies between gender
\n equality and sustainable climate action. CIFOR was also invited to support
\n capacity-building efforts mandated under the UNFCCC Gender Action Plan; CIFOR
\n scientist Houria Djoudi facilitated discussions among members of the recently
\n established Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples platform and spoke on
\n gender power relationships in a podcast<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

And research on the possibility of leveraging climate finance for advancing
\n gender equality and poverty reduction in Indonesia assessed the strengths and
\n weaknesses of five different financial mechanisms with the potential to channel
\n climate funding.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
