A/HRC/41/26 Mechanism’s Task Force on Displacement calling for an approach to climate displacement that takes into account international human rights standards and gender. 37. In total, there have been more than 60 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change decisions addressing gender. At the eighteenth session of the Conference of the Parties, in 2012, the parties adopted a decision on gender balance and the representation of women. Since 2012, gender and climate change has been a stand-alone agenda item of the Conference of the Parties, and the Subsidiary Body for Implementation. 76 At its twentieth session, the Conference of the Parties established the Lima Work Programme, which is aimed at advancing gender-responsive climate action throughout the work of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The work programme, initially lasting two years, has been extended on an ongoing basis. It includes a review of the implementation of gender-related mandates by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change secretariat, and training, awareness-raising and capacity-building for delegates on gender-responsive climate action. At the twenty-second session of the Conference of the Parties, in 2016, the parties adopted a decision recognizing the value of the participation of grass-roots women in gender-responsive climate action at all levels. In 2017, the twenty-third session of the Conference of the Parties adopted the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Gender Action Plan, under the Lima Work Programme, to guide ongoing work on gender-responsive approaches to climate change. 38. The Gender Action Plan is aimed at ensuring that women can participate in and influence climate change decisions, and ensuring their equal representation in all of the work of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Gender Action Plan sets out five priority areas, as follows: capacity-building; knowledge-sharing and communication; gender balance, participation and women’s leadership; coherence (creating consistent implementation of gender-related mandates and activities within the work of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change bodies, the secretariat and other United Nations entities and stakeholders); gender-responsive implementation; and improved monitoring and reporting on gender-related mandates under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. 39. The Gender Action Plan identifies key steps to help achieve these priorities. For example, to support the full, equal and meaningful participation of women in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change process, it calls for travel funds to support the participation of women in national delegations, and the development and implementation of climate education and training programmes targeted at women and youth at the regional, national and local levels. 3. 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 40. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has human rights and the commitment to leave no one behind at its core. Because the Sustainable Development Goals are interdependent, achieving any of the Goals will require effective climate action under Goal 13. Goal 5 (gender equality) is cross-cutting, and specifically calls upon Member States to “ensure women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and public life” and to end all forms of discrimination against women. Goal 13 explicitly calls upon Member States to “promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management… including focusing on women”. Goal 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions) and Goal 17 (means of implementation) are critical enablers for progress towards all of the goals, including Goal 13. Goals 16 and 17 highlight respectively the need for inclusive, participatory and representative decision-making at all levels, and for adequate finance. 76 12 See https://unfccc.int/topics/gender/workstreams/gender-and-climate-change-unfccc-relatedactivities-2017.
