Climate change is not only one of the greatest environmental and development challenges facing the world today, it is one that will have critical impacts on human rights and inequalities, including gender inequality. It is therefore deeply appropriate for the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and UN Women to have collaborated in developing Mainstreaming Gender in Green Climate Fund Projects, a practical manual to support the integration of gender equality in climate change interventions and climate finance. This publication comes at a critical time in the global response to climate change. As the portfolio of the GCF grows rapidly, and with it the needs of countries for capacity development, the manual intends to provide national designated authorities, focal points, accredited entities and delivery partners with guidance to effectively – and holistically – mainstream gender in GCF projects and programmes.
