Caja de herramientas para un proceso de formulación e implementación de planes nacionales de adaptación (PNAD) con perspectiva de género

The document serves as a supplement to the UNFCCC Technical Guidelines for the NAP process, offering a flexible framework to address gender inequalities in climate adaptation. It details specific 'entry points' within the NAP cycle—from launch and vulnerability assessment to implementation and monitoring—where gender considerations can be integrated. The toolkit emphasizes that climate impacts are not gender-neutral and that failing to address gender dynamics can inadvertently increase social inequality. It provides practical tools for gender analysis, inclusive facilitation, multi-criteria analysis for prioritization, and gender-responsive budgeting. Case studies from countries such as Peru, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, and Fiji illustrate the application of these principles in national planning and the use of international finance, such as the Green Climate Fund, to empower women as agents of change.

• Climate change impacts are not gender-neutral, and adaptation investments can inadvertently increase social and gender inequality if gender considerations are ignored.
• Gender influences vulnerability to climate change through the intersection of socially determined roles, responsibilities, and access to resources, creating distinct adaptation needs for different genders.
• Women are frequently underrepresented in institutional decision-making for climate adaptation; a 2015 analysis of 193 countries found women held only 12% of head positions in environment-related ministries.
• Gender-responsive NAPs require a shift from 'gender sensitivity' (awareness of differences) to 'gender perspective' (active actions to address inequalities).
• Effective gender integration in the NAP process occurs at specific entry points: the launch, vulnerability assessments, prioritization of options, compilation of plans, sectoral and subnational planning, implementation strategies, and monitoring and evaluation.
• Gender-responsive budgeting is essential to ensure that public funds for adaptation are allocated to activities that promote gender equality and benefit the most vulnerable groups.
• The toolkit identifies six key tools for implementing gender-responsive approaches: gender analysis, gender-responsive facilitation, multi-criteria analysis, gender mainstreaming, gender-responsive monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and gender-responsive budgeting.
• International climate finance, such as the Green Climate Fund (GCF), provides a critical opportunity for countries to implement long-term gender-responsive systems and capacities.
