Work is being done to formulate conclusions from Warsaw into something stronger on gender. Priorities on Gender & ADP Ensure gender in new climate agreement as an overarching mandate.

Ensure progress on gender across Subsidiary Bodies.

Existing Mandates and Entry Points for Gender Equality in current UNFCCC decisions and conclusions. Available in English and Spanish, and soon in French, this technical guide was developed to support decision-makers, negotiators and advocates in mapping current decisions that contain specific references to gender equality (e.g. in relation to gender balance or gender-sensitive approaches) across all main areas of the negotiations. This mapping further serves to support users in more effectively monitoring the implementation of gender-sensitive climate change policies and actions at all levels.
