Gender in climate action training pack: A resource for practitioners

The 'Gender in climate action training pack: A resource for practitioners' is a guide developed by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) to help climate and development professionals integrate gender and social inclusion perspectives into climate projects and programmes. The pack consists of six modules designed for facilitators and trainees to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of climate action through gender-responsive approaches.

• The training pack is structured into six modules designed to guide practitioners through the project cycle, from understanding international frameworks to implementing inclusive programmes. These modules cover international and national frameworks, the necessity of a gender approach, assessing climate risks and resilience, planning gender-responsive solutions, committing equity-responsive budgets, and inclusive implementation.
• The training aims to demonstrate that gender-responsive and socially-inclusive approaches enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of climate action, whereas gender-blind approaches are detrimental to these goals.
• The resource provides specific tools and exercises for practitioners, including a 'Climate and Society' game, a 'Gender and social inclusion bingo game', and a problem tree exercise developed by the UNFCCC and UN Women to identify gender challenges and risks.
• The training pack utilizes case studies from Nepal, rural India, and Ethiopia to illustrate the practical application of gender-smart approaches in climate-smart agriculture and livelihood diversification for pastoralist women.
