This Short Course’s emphasis will be on providing participants with practical implementation strategies including working with sub-national institutions and grassroots stakeholders.
Learning Outcomes
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Critically assess the gendered impacts of climate change across sectors to evaluate how climate change differentially affects women, men, and marginalised groups in sectors such as agriculture, water, energy, and disaster risk reduction, using intersectional and context-specific analysis.
- Understand the role of the private and finance sectors in gender responsive climate adaptation and mitigation.
- Analyse and critique national climate policies and financing mechanisms for gender responsiveness by assessing national climate policies both across South Asia and Mongolia and more broadly (e.g. NDCs, adaptation plans) and climate finance instruments (e.g. Green Climate Fund [GFC], Adaptation Fund) for alignment with gender equality principles and identify key gaps or opportunities.
- Design gender-responsive interventions for climate adaptation and mitigation, applying tools (e.g. gender analysis matrices, stakeholder mapping) to develop or revise climate-related programs or projects with concrete gender equality outcomes.
- Develop advocacy strategies to promote inclusive climate governance by formulating targeted strategies to strengthen women’s and marginalised groups’ participation in climate decision-making processes at local, national, or regional levels.
- Use digital and technology-enabled tools and data systems for modern policy making.
