This capacity-building package has been designed for policymakers to guide them on how to promote gender equality across all levels of policy and programming in climate change, and to provide them with the necessary tools to do so. As an awareness-raising tool for policymakers on mainstreaming gender in climate change actions, this package aims to: (i) raise awareness of the need to/relevance of mainstreaming gender in climate change actions, including in decision-making at the top level; (ii) encourage policymakers to mainstream gender across institutions and at international, national and local levels; (iii) inform non-gender specialists about the tools and strategies available to ensure that gender sensitivity is meaningfully employed in policy and programme implementation; and, (iv) assist policymakers in identifying concrete entry points for gender sensitivity action and on how to determine which actions are appropriate. The package provides tangible examples taken from UNDP’s work with gender mainstreaming in Bhutan and Cambodia.
