Lima Work Programme on Gender Background

The Lima Work Programme on Gender (LWPG) has been extended until 2035, following decisions at COP29 in Baku. Parties are now working toward a new Gender Action Plan (GAP) to be developed at COP30, with initial design discussions and technical workshops having taken place at SB62 in June. Key areas of focus include gender-responsive climate finance, intersectionality, and the strengthening of national gender and climate focal points, though disagreements persist over the extent of gender integration in climate policy.

• The Lima Work Programme on Gender (LWPG) was extended for a period of 10 years, meaning it will now run until 2035.
• A new Gender Action Plan (GAP) is scheduled for development at COP30, with the initial design process having started at SB62.
• During SB62 informal consultations from 20 to 25 June, Parties discussed specific sensitive topics including sexual and reproductive health and rights, environmental defenders, and care work, as well as gender-responsive climate finance.
• Different party blocs hold varying positions on the GAP and focal points: the EU advocates for rights-based language and clear mandates; the G77 + China emphasizes flexibility for developing countries and the need for funding; and the African Group seeks regional workshops and local training for focal points.
