Gender composition. Report by the secretariat
Agenda item

COP 28

13. Gender and climate change
Abstract

This report is prepared annually by the secretariat to assist Parties in tracking progress towards meeting the goal of gender balance in advancing gender-sensitive climate policy. It presents a breakdown of the gender composition of constituted bodies established under the Convention, the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, and of the gender and age composition of Party delegations to sessions held under these instruments, including comparison with data for previous years. In addition, information is provided on the secretariat’s implementation of decisions that include a gender approach. This report also includes a case study on the gender composition of Party delegates having received funding through the Trust Fund for Participation in the UNFCCC Process for in-person participation in the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Sharm el-Sheikh.
