Policy Brief: Gender Responsive and Socially Inclusive Public Climate Finance
يوليو ٢٠٢٢
Working Paper
Everyone lives in a changing climate, but climate change does not affect everyone equally. Impacts of climate change are experienced differently by people of different gender, ages, social and economic groups, geographical location, relationships with the environment, and other factors. These factors affect people’s varied roles, responsibilities and access to power and resources, which in turn affect their ability to manage the risks and cope with the impacts of climate change. UNDP in partnership with the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning (ONEP) is strengthening Gender and Social Inclusion (GSI) in public climate finance by developing mechanisms that will support government agencies at the national and sub-national levels to systematically integrate gender and social analysis in the climate change budget formulation. The policy brief titled “Gender-responsive and socially inclusive public finance” shows experience of Mek-dum community in Maha Sarakham province of Northeastern Thailand to demonstrate the importance of and the approach in mainstreaming gender and social inclusion (GSI) in climate change policy, planning, and financing.
Financing Climate Action in Pakistan: Solutions and Way Forward
يونيو ٢٠٢٢
Working Paper
Climate change is the gravest challenge of our time and how fast and extensively it is transforming the world does not need to be substantiated. Earth’s changing climate is a combination of natural variation and human impact. Natural processes driving Earth’s long term climate variability do not explain the rapid change observed in recent decades with available evidence consistently pointing to the fact that human impacts are playing a much larger role in climate change particularly through industrial activities that have resulted in alarming carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Climate change can lead to dire consequences such as rising sea levels, increase in frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, worsening air and water quality, etc. warranting urgent measures to contain the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Momentum around climate change adaptation seems to be building, both in academic research and in political discourse. Decisions made now regarding infrastructure, research and finance will affect how climate impacts play out in the future; and it is clear that immediate and ambitious action is needed, not only to lower emissions but also to mitigate the impacts of climate change felt across the world now and by future generations.
