How to put gender-responsive climate solutions into action: Lebanon’s approach

In view of enhancing climate action, the Government of Lebanon sought to assess how to integrate gender considerations into Lebanon’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and related policies. The link between climate change and gender have been well-documented at the global level. Regional and country-based studies have confirmed that climate change mitigation and adaptation actions cannot be successful without adopting a gender perspective. In Lebanon, this link had not yet been clearly established. This gender analysis, which was carried out under the NDC Support Programme, aims at providing entry-points to increase the gender-inclusiveness and responsiveness of climate change policies, strategies, planning and reporting aspects.
