Présentation du cours

Climate change exacerbates existing gender inequalities and disproportionately impacts women and marginalized communities. As societies transition to low-carbon and climate-resilient economies, it is crucial to ensure that this shift is inclusive, equitable, and delivers upon the principle of leaving no one behind. - Addressing the intersection of gender equality and climate action is essential for sustainable development and a just transition. Moreover, gender-responsive climate action and policies are necessary to enable women to actively engage and benefit from the shift towards low-carbon economies. This in turn requires strong and skilled policymakers and practitioners that can propose action-oriented solutions to foster a just transition to a low-carbon economy that work for all. Through this capacity-development programme, participants will explore the multifaceted relationship between climate change and gender equality and learn how to integrate gender-responsive strategies into climate policies and actions. The course includes live virtual sessions with international experts and self-guided online modules, covering essential topics such as the differential impacts of climate change on women and men, policy frameworks for gender-responsive climate action, and strategies for inclusive climate resilience and adaptation. The complete training programme will last about 20 hours, spread over 4 weeks.
