Recognise and address structural and intersectional inequalities

Recognise and address the intersectional gender, racial and other characteristics that are often the root causes of structural social and economic inequalities. Integrate these considerations into the mainstream of biodiversity action to ensure equitable access to the resources and benefits that are generated.

Actively create and sustain environments and mechanisms for inclusive, effective and gender-responsive participation, leadership, decision-making and feedback. Engage with dominant actors that may inadvertently reinforce inequalities, and proactively dismantle the structural barriers to positive change.
