The differentiated impacts of climate change and gender-responsive climate policy and action, as well as policies, plans and progress in enhancing gender balance in national delegations were the focus of a two-part workshop held in Bonn on 2 and 9 May 2018, during the first part of the forty-eighth sessions of the subsidiary bodies. After various presentations on case studies and good practice examples the discussions focused on the availability of sex-disaggregated data, on gender analysis as a prerequisite for effective climate policy and action, and on strengthening governance structures, measures and financing to achieve improved gender balance. The participants split into working groups to exchange relevant experiences and to brainstorm ideas for future action, and the workshop concluded with each group presenting a summary of challenges and recommendations.
