Every 2 years at the NAP Global Network we review progress on the integration of gender considerations in national adaptation planning processes. Today Angie Dazé and I launch the 4th of these synthesis reports where we share the results of our systematic review of multisector NAP documents submitted to the UN Climate Change and highlight 6 promising examples of practical steps countries are taking to advance their gender-responsive NAP processes. Two of the report’s key findings really jumped out at me. 1?? While 96% of documents reference women, we continue to see that the most common way that women are being positioned in NAPs is as a group that is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. This fails to recognize the skills and experiences that women hold, which are necessary for more effective adaptation action. 2?? 64% of NAP documents refer to capacity-strengthening activities related to gender and adaptation. The promising example of creative methods for meaningful dialogue on gender in Rwanda’s NAP process strengthens the capacity of women on the frontlines of climate change to better participate in adaptation processes. It also supports policymakers to better understand the effects of climate change on women’s lives and the adaptation priorities for their communities. ??

Climate change is nothing new, but its effects are increasingly becoming more threatening, with the most vulnerable especially at risk ??. The United Nations General Assembly declared that the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment is a human right. Solutions are needed expeditiously ?. Approaches touted include infusing intersectionality into the fight against climate change, strengthening the role of Indigenous peoples and amplifying the role of women ?? and youth.

?? Launched today at COP29 Azerbaijan: our new research with UNDP Climate and Frederick S. Pardee Institute for International Futures charts development pathways that advance an SDG Push with Equitable Low-Carbon Pathways. ??Our starting point: no country has achieved a high level of human development within planetary boundaries. ??We asked: what do we need to do today to advance human development without putting enormous strain on the planet? ? ?? We take a futures approach to forecast global trends and analyze potential policy implications at the intersection of climate ambition and human development. ??Policy ingredients: good governance, inclusive social protection, digital transformation, green economy and equitable energy transitions. Key findings: ? ??Human development gains ??Reduced poverty ??Reduced carbon emissions ??

At COP29 Azerbaijan, Oxfam in Bangladesh is putting climate justice at the heart of the conversation! Join us at #BakuAzerbaijan for two key events on 14 and 16 November which will focus on JUST transition and equity and inclusion in climate action. We’ll explore how policies, technologies, and finance systems can work to ensure the benefits of energy transition and climate action are fairly distributed, with a focus on Global South and developing countries' perspectives. Also, there will be discussions on securing the rights of under privileged groups, communities with a strong emphasis on gender and intersectionality, to make climate action more inclusive and just for all. Let's speak about #ClimateJustice in Bangladesh and #ActNow. #ClimateJusticeActNow #COP29 #ClimateFinance #LossandDamange #DisasterResponse #JustEnergyTransition #DemandFossilFuelPhaseOut
