This article, presented by the CBD Women’s Caucus, offers an in-depth analysis of the resumed COP 16.2 session held in February 2025 in Rome. This moment marked another significant step in the ongoing effort to implement a gender-responsive Global Biodiversity Framework. As Parties and stakeholders reconvened to finalize negotiations on critical outstanding decisions, the Women’s Caucus actively worked to ensure that the outcomes were gender-responsive and aligned with our broader goal of advancing gender justice in biodiversity conservation.
The analysis highlights key gender-related outcomes, celebrates progress made, and identifies persistent gaps that demand continued advocacy and action.
The analysis highlights key gender-relevant outcomes in several areas, with a particular focus on the following items :
- Resource Mobilisation & Financial Mechanism
- 1.1 Updated Resource Mobilisation Strategy
- 1.2 Financial Mechanism
- Monitoring Framework
- Mechanisms for Planning, Monitoring, Reporting, and Reviewing (PMRR)
- Cooperation
- COPs Programme of Work
