Towards a gender-just transition – annual conference of the UN Global Compact Nordic networks
The conference examines linkages between gender equality and the ongoing climate crisis in the Nordic business context. The main objectives are to strengthen collaboration, accelerate change, and encourage businesses to set ambitious targets to deliver on the SDGs (5, 8, 10, 13).
The conference is 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. We expect at least 150 Nordic company representatives to participate. The conference provides a platform for experienced practitioners to exchange knowledge and practical approaches regarding the effective implementation of actions.
A summary report will be compiled to communicate the overall messaging, identified challenges, key take-away actions and next steps. The report will be disseminated in the Nordic networks’ events, learning programs and peer learning groups.
