To echo the UN Women\u2019s warning, the coupling of gender inequality and climate crisis jeopardises livelihoods, health, safety and security for women and girls around the world. The challenge has, too, been making crucial links between, between gender, social equity, and climate change among climate change scientists, researchers, and policymakers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Girls and women are disproportionately affected by environmental degradation, but they are powerful environment and ocean stewards. However, their agency and distinctive knowledge are often overlooked, their capacities unleveraged, while gender-based constraints exacerbate their vulnerability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This panel aims to discuss the protection of the human rights of women and girls at the climate-ocean nexus, exploring empowerment of girls and women in the law of the sea, marine sciences, and ocean management, including in the specific context of small-scale fisheries. The panel will also reflect on the specific role of girls and women as environmental and ocean human rights defenders and their transformative potential for more sustainable ocean governance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PANELISTS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/valentina-germani-69ab5b\/\">Ms Valentina Germani, UN Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea (chair)<\/a>.
