Gender in climate action training pack: A resource for practitioners

The CDKN Gender in climate action training pack provides facilitators and practitioners with a modular curriculum to ensure climate interventions are gender-responsive and socially inclusive. The pack consists of six modules covering international policy frameworks, the rationale for gender-based approaches, risk assessment, solution planning, equity-responsive budgeting, and inclusive implementation. It utilizes a variety of tools, including Powerpoint presentations, case studies from Nepal, India, and Ethiopia, and interactive games to build capacity among professionals working on climate resilience, adaptation, and mitigation.

• The training pack is structured into six modules designed to guide practitioners through the project cycle, from initial design and consultation to budgeting, delivery, and monitoring and evaluation.
• The curriculum emphasizes that gender-responsive and socially-inclusive approaches are essential for the effectiveness and sustainability of climate action, whereas gender-blind approaches are detrimental.
• Module 1 focuses on internationally recognized frameworks for gender equality and climate action, specifically the Sustainable Development Goals, the Sendai Agreement on Disaster Risk Reduction, and the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women and Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.
• The training utilizes specific regional case studies to illustrate the application of gender-smart approaches, including climate-smart agriculture in Nepal and rural India, and livelihood diversification for pastoralist women in Ethiopia.
