  3. 1 Where are we? Gender, the “latecomer”: What caused the delay? Climate as a “hard science” issue First generation adaptation approaches Superficial solutions Gender as a long-term side event

  4. Where are we? Cont. Today: Stronger investment, more visibility Donor guidelines, funding criteria, institutional architecture, results frameworks COP18 “Gender Decision”; GCF architecture Strong global network (Global Gender & Climate Alliance – CCAFS joined recently)

  5. 2 – Where next? Gaps to address “Of virtue and vulnerability”(Arora-Jonsson 2011) The “vulnerable woman” collective labelling gender stereotypes The “virtuous woman” Green heroines and “barefoot engineers” Nurturers and carers Instrumentalist approaches

  6. 2 – Where next? Gaps to address cont. “Add women and stir”? (Okali/Naess 2013) “Tunnel view” on women and girls Lack of analysis “, and particularly women” Little attention to structural issues and relations Limited perspective on other social inequalities (“intersectionality”)

  7. 3 – Organisational issues to address 2010/11 review of the organisational mechanics of integrating gender into climate change work: Mainstreaming fatigue Disconnect in the programme cycle Policy disconnect and implicit assumptions Staff capacity, resources Tickboxingexcercises Varying mainstreaming models Leadership and continuity
