With Business Fights Poverty, I believe that equity builds resilience - for vulnerable people and communities, as well as for businesses and their value chains.

The pandemic and climate change have exposed how deep inequities, including by gender, shape the impacts and the opportunities.

At this year’s virtual Gender Summit, we explored through engaging and interactive sessions, the role that business can play in driving gender equity.

Timed with International Women’s Day on 8 March, and tying in with its theme of “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow”, the Gender Summit explored issues of climate justice and economic opportunity from a gender perspective.
