HIGHLIGHTS
Conference: On February 18, 2004, genanet hosted its
first conference and kick-off event in Berlin: „Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie!
Eine nachhaltige Strategie für Geschlechtergerechtigkeit?“
(Sustainability Strategy! A sustainable
strategy for gender justice?). The freshly compiled position
papers were up for discussion, focussing on four issues:
renewables, land use, alternative fuel, and the potential of
the elderly. Some 70 environmental and gender experts
took part. Among them were several delegates of associations,
political and administrative institutions, representatives
of the Federal Ministry for the Environment and the
Ministry of Transport, as well as the German Council for
Sustainable Development. The participants demanded that
genanet seized stronger political influence, including all
the way up to the Federal Chancellor’s Office.

Dialogue and networking: genanet participated in the
consultation process that accompanied the revision of
the National Sustainability Strategy, thereby ensuring
that gender issues and concerns would be an integral part
of the discussions. In this way, genanet not only gained
an opportunity to impact the content of the Strategy,
but also extended its networking activities that link
gender and sustainability experts and increased its level
of visibility.
