Advancing Rural Women's Economic Empowerment Through Climate-Resilient Agriculture

This policy brief is part of a series to present evidence from the strategies and praxisof the UN Joint Programme on Rural Women’s Economic Empowerment (JP RWEE).
Based on case studies, experiences and evaluations from the JP RWEE, it draws conclusions and makes recommendations for expanding sustainable development and climate change policies and programmes, particularly for climate-resilient
agriculture, that simultaneously advance rural women’s economic empowerment and protect the planet. It aims to enable international, national and local stakeholders to formulate evidence-based policies and practices that build on JP RWEE achievements to date, and also to address challenges and gaps towards the effective promotion of
gender equality in a rapidly changing climate.
