  1. Gender equality and climate action Leverage points and building blocks Verania Chao, UNDP

  2. Gender equality, climate change and the 2030 Agenda • The 2030 Agenda and the commitments for gender equality in the Paris Agreement offer an opportunity for countries to co-ordinate actions and progress • Gender, climate and social goals are inter-linked and can strengthen each other: women are significant actors in climate adaptation and mitigation • They are active in agriculture, DRR, forestry, health care • They make up 2/3 of the world’s 600 million small livestock managers • Cooking, household and productive tasks make them significant users, managers, suppliers and consumers of energy and transport • Supporting women to take climate action increases resilience, social development and gender equality

  3. Gender in the INDCs

  4. Key entry points for integrating gender into the NDCs • Analysis of the national context • Assess institutional climate change and gender equality frameworks and coordination mechanisms • Integrate gender equality into climate change policy and planning • Engage in multi-stakeholder consultations • Support capacity development of different groups • Monitoring, evaluation and reporting • Gender-responsive climate finance mechanisms

  5. Examples of integrating gender into CC • Georgia developed the first gender-sensitive NAMA on low-cost water heating solutions for households, based on community energy cooperatives with a high involvement of women in leadership. • The Philippines People’s Survival Fund (PSF) requires sex-disaggregated data in proposal consultations and beneficiary analysis. Board members include the Chair of the Philippines Commission on Women. • Costa Rica is training personnel in the Ministries of Agriculture and Transportation on the importance of gender equality and climate change to those sectors as well as how they can be integrated into planning.
