This K4DD Rapid Evidence Review introduces some of the lessons, barriers, entry points for action, themes, and issues related to the challenge of ensuring that women, girls, Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLCs) and marginalised groups are at the heart of efforts to tackle the global biodiversity crisis.

It was produced as a briefing note to provide background on the Wilton Park conference on Transformative change for global biodiversity: the role of gender equality and social inclusion. The review includes notes for sessions on:

  • Why biodiversity is a critical issue
  • Learning from inclusive and transformative biodiversity action
  • The barriers to achieving inclusive and transformative action for biodiversity
  • Championing the implementation of Target 22 and Target 23 as fundamental to achieving the goals of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework
  • Inclusive biodiversity finance for transformative change
