The first-ever cross-sectoral Nordic roundtable with a spotlight on gender equality and climate justice in the region was convened by FOKUS, UN Women and the Nordic Council of Ministers in Oslo, Norway, on 24 January 2022. The objective of the roundtable was to form an alliance, provide a platform for knowledge exchange, identify challenges, and find solutions to the climate justice and gender equality nexus - and to promote a joint Nordic voice for gender equality. This brief summarizes the discussion and offers 22 takeaways, backed by statements and inputs. It sheds light on important areas of action for people and planet, alike.
