The Caribbean gender empowerment forum
November 15, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

The effects of climate change will continue to have an outsized impact in the Caribbean – a subject that must be at the top of the agenda next month at COP. But what should also be top of mind is the disproportionate impact on women.
But for women to have a leadership role in determining how to mitigate the impacts of climate change, it’s crucial to also have roles as decisionmakers in the broader democratic process. That’s a challenge when only 22 percent of ministerial portfolios and cabinet positions in the English-speaking Caribbean are held by women.
Join the Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center’s Caribbean Initiative and UN Women on Wednesday, November 15, 2023, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. (Guyana) / 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. (ET) at the Guyana Marriott Hotel Georgetown in Georgetown, Guyana, for a thought-provoking conversation on addressing gender challenges in the Caribbean.
