The conference examined linkages between gender equality and the ongoing climate crisis in the Nordic business context. The main objectives were to strengthen collaboration, accelerate change, and encourage businesses to set ambitious targets to deliver on the SDGs (5, 8, 10, 13).

The conference was organized in two parts: a high-level plenary on the first day, followed by a series of workshop style deep-dive sessions and roundtables covering the topical themes of a gender-just transition. Around 150 Nordic company representatives participated. The conference provided a platform for experienced practitioners to exchange knowledge and practical approaches regarding the effective implementation of actions.

A summary report was compiled to communicate the overall messaging, identified challenges, key take-away actions and next steps. The report is disseminated in the Nordic networks’ events, learning programs and peer learning groups.
