This third virtual meeting aims to build on the first and second CSCAP WPS Study Group meetings held in June and September 2021. The second meeting established a strong interest for the group to define WPS priorities and chart a course for WPS implementation across the region, and to identify pathways for mainstreaming WPS in response to common crises. Acknowledging previous progress, this third meeting is intended to encourage academics, researchers, and policymakers from CSCAP member committees to engage in discussions of past and present work and share ideas about future activities. In particular, this meeting shall serve as an opportunity to work toward a shared (regional) definition of and plan for implementing WPS in the Asia Pacific. It will also take stock of emerging scholarship and evidence on thematic issues related to WPS, notably disaster (including COVID-19 and climate change) management, countering terrorism, managing digitalisation/cybersecurity, women in conflict, and women in security forces.
