Advancing Gender Responsive Climate Action [Video]

Advancing Gender Responsive Climate Action

This session, co-hosted by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and the Women’s Environment & Development Organization (WEDO), was part of the 2021 ADB Asia and the Pacific Virtual Gender Forum.

A recent study found that while over 60% of global GHG emissions in 2019 were from Asia and the Pacific, only two out of 49 countries link gender and climate finance in climate policies. The National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process and NDCs present key opportunities to address gender dimensions of climate change. While there are some positive trends in the gender mainstreaming of NAPs and NDCs there is still a long way to go to make them gender-responsive.

This knowledge lab explored how countries can pursue gender-responsive NAP processes and the extent to which gender is currently being integrated into NDC documents. Key takeaways from this session include: [1] The NAP process and NDCs offer opportunities to address the gender dimensions of climate change if undertaken in a gender-responsive manner. [2] Opportunities exist to adopt a gender-responsive approach at any point of the NAP process, and targeted gender analysis is essential to support this process; [3] learning from Nepal’s experience, it is critical that NDC’s formulation is country-driven and follows a consultative approach at national and local levels, following the principle of “leave no one behind”, with the active involvement of women, youth, and indigenous people.
