This report presents a collection of best practices for achieving sustainable and transformative results for biodiversity. It aims to strengthen and update the evidence base on gender-responsive biodiversity policy and action and support indigenous peoples, local communities and stakeholders to integrate gender considerations in the implementation of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. 

Detailed case studies provide in-depth analyses of different stages of project development and implementation that contribute to achieving social inclusion outcomes. The examples showcase innovative approaches, such as how engaging women in natural resource mapping and ensuring their equal participation in determining financing priorities can lead to improved food security and nutrition as well as increased leadership.
