Presented by Norway and the Women Organizing for Change in Agriculture and Natural Resource Management (WOCAN, http://www.wocan.org/) on the occasion of the UN Conference on Climate Change in Cancun, this event discussed the role of women in successful implementation of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) initiatives. Noting that gender has been overlooked in global climate policymaking, Audun Rosland, Norway, stressed that gender aspects must not be forgotten in the design of REDD+.
