La santé et les droits sexuels et reproductifs dans les processus de plans nationaux d’adaptation

The report analyzes 19 National Adaptation Plan (NAP) documents, sectoral health plans, and Green Climate Fund proposals to assess the integration of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). It finds that while health is universally prioritized as a sector for adaptation, specific SRHR issues are rarely addressed. The document argues that climate change negatively impacts SRHR and that the denial of these rights increases climate vulnerability. It recommends using existing gender and health guidelines, incorporating SRHR into vulnerability assessments, and fostering collaboration between government bodies responsible for climate, gender, and health to ensure inclusive and rights-based adaptation strategies.

• Governments consistently prioritize the health sector in their National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes, with all examined documents identifying health as a priority sector and listing specific adaptation activities.
• There is limited attention given to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in NAP documents; only 10 out of 19 analyzed documents contained specific references to SRHR components.
• The most frequently cited SRHR issues in NAP documents are pregnancy and infant care (mentioned in seven documents) and gender-based violence (mentioned in four documents), typically within the context of vulnerabilities or disaster risks.
• A disconnect exists between sectoral health adaptation plans and overarching NAP documents; specific SRHR commitments in health-sector plans often fail to translate into concrete activities in the main NAP documents.
• Gender-responsive approaches serve as a critical entry point for integrating SRHR into NAP processes, as demonstrated by Kiribati, where a gender analysis led to the inclusion of fertility rates and contraceptive use as factors in climate vulnerability.
• Funding for health sector adaptation is severely insufficient, estimated at less than 1% of total global adaptation funding in 2017–2018.
• Climate change negatively impacts SRHR both directly, by disrupting health infrastructure and medical supply chains, and indirectly, by increasing gender-based violence and early marriage due to climate-induced economic stress.
• The denial of SRHR acts as a barrier to climate action by limiting women's and girls' education, livelihoods, and participation in political and community decision-making processes.
