Outcome of the work of the Ad Hoc Working Group on long-term Cooperative Action under the Convention

In 2007, IUCN, UNDP, UNEP and WEDO recognized the need for a coordinated strategy among global institutions working on gender and climate change. The result was the establishment of the Global Gender and Climate Alliance (GGCA). The primary goal of the GGCA is to ensure that climate change policies, decision making, and initiatives at the global, regional and national levels are gender-responsive. The GGCA has developed this training manual to increase the capacity of policy and decision makers so that efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change are gender-sensitive.Though very broad in scope, the manual includes a short module on the gender issues relevant to carbon fixing/sequestration and specifically discusses REDD+.
