Un cadre pour des processus de plans nationaux d’adaptation (PNA) qui répondent aux questions de genre

The document argues that gender equality is a human right and a prerequisite for sustainable climate adaptation, as women and men experience climate impacts differently and face distinct barriers to resources. It defines 'gender-responsive' approaches as those that actively challenge gender norms and inequalities rather than just acknowledging differences. The briefing provides a detailed framework for NAP teams, covering planning (e.g., using sex-disaggregated data), implementation (e.g., gender-responsive budgeting), and monitoring and evaluation (e.g., tracking women's empowerment). A pilot study of NAP documents from 15 countries in Asia, Africa, and the Americas found that while gender is often recognized as a cross-cutting issue, there is a lack of specific detail on implementation and resource allocation.

• Gender-responsive adaptation is essential because women, men, girls, and boys experience climate change impacts differently and possess varying needs and capacities. Failure to address these differences in NAP processes can lead to the reinforcement or creation of new gender inequalities, such as increasing women's workloads or reducing their decision-making power.
• The document distinguishes between 'gender-sensitive' and 'gender-responsive' approaches. While sensitivity acknowledges differences, gender-responsive approaches actively examine and address gender-related norms, roles, and inequalities to promote gender equality and empower women within their communities and political processes.
• A gender-responsive NAP process is characterized by three core pillars: recognizing differences in needs and capacities between women and men, ensuring equitable participation and influence in decision-making, and providing equitable access to financial resources and benefits from adaptation investments.
• The framework identifies specific actions for NAP teams across the iterative cycle: planning should use sex-disaggregated data and gender-sensitive vulnerability assessments; implementation should employ gender-responsive budgeting and target particularly vulnerable women; and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) should include indicators for women's empowerment and analyze the differentiated impacts of measures.
• Institutional enabling factors are required to support gender-responsive NAPs, including equitable representation of women in institutional structures, targeted capacity building for women's organizations, and the design of climate information services that ensure equitable access for all genders.
• A pilot study of NAP documents from 15 countries across Asia, Africa, and the Americas indicated that while most countries recognize gender as a factor of vulnerability or a cross-cutting issue, they lack detailed steps for implementation, prioritization of measures, and resource allocation.
