The first CSP Stakeholder Empowerment Series (SES) webinar on gender and environment took place on October 22, 2020 virtually on Webex. It gathered more than 80 participants from a wide range of countries including: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Thailand, Viet Nam, China, Indonesia, Philippines, Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. 

This was the first virtual meeting to gather participation from multiple constituencies across different continents and it was an opportunity to share experiences on how to integrate gender in GEF projects between practitioners from different regions. The session included guest presenters from the Philippines, Tajikistan, and Senegal who covered topics on climate change resilient communities in rural Sengal, conservation of ecosystems for snow leopard protection in Pamir Alay, and safe e-waste management in the Philippines.
