The impacts of climate change are not gender-neutral. Consequently, responses to these impacts, whether at the policy level or on the ground in vulnerable communities, must be gender-responsive.
This toolkit is designed to support a country's efforts to pursue a gender-responsive National Action Plan (NAP) process. It will be useful for government actors coordinating the NAP process, as well as for stakeholders and development partners supporting adaptation planning and implementation.
The document provides detailed guidance on steps practitioners can take to integrate gender into the enabling activities that occur throughout the process, for example, in the engagement of stakeholders and capacity development. It is to be used alongside the UNFCCC technical guidelines.
