IIED is undertaking a review of the impacts of biodiversity loss on women and girls and has launched a survey to capture views on these impacts, the policy gaps and barriers to participation in decision making.

A new short-term project funded by the UK's Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) aims to provide insights on the differential impacts of biodiversity loss and environmental degradation on women and girls.

The project will also identify gaps in the available evidence on gender and biodiversity, identify new evidence to fill those gaps, and develop policy recommendations.
