There is still an unequal participation of women in political processes so what should be done at COP26 to highlight this? Don't we need women to decide and implement policies or projects in order to decrease existing inequalities and increase effectiveness?

The format for the evening is a panel discussion featuring women who have attended COPs. They will tell us about the role women have played, their experiences and discuss opportunities for greater female accreditation at COPs in the future. We will examine the changes in gender balance over time and existing barriers to full participation - which are often beyond purely gender and include race, nationality, command of English, and discipline. 

But this event is about learning from everyone in the room. Finding out your thoughts and ideas for COP26. Listening out for new strategies and good ways to use COP26 to engage the businesses and citizens of Glasgow in climate change.
