Abstract

The Conference of the Parties, at its twenty-fifth session, adopted the enhanced Lima work programme on gender and its gender action plan, which sets out objectives and activities under five priority areas that aim to advance knowledge and understanding of gender-responsive climate action and its coherent mainstreaming in the implementation of the UNFCCC and the work of Parties, the secretariat, United Nations entities and all stakeholders at all levels, as well as women's full, equal and meaningful participation in the UNFCCC process.

Activity D.1 of the workplan, under priority area D (gender-responsive implementation and means of implementation), requests relevant organizations to lead on, and invites Parties, national gender and climate change focal points, the secretariat, relevant national finance and budgeting entities and any other relevant entities to contribute to, an expert group meeting to share experience and support capacity-building in relation to gender budgeting, including the integration of gender-responsive budgeting into national budgets to advance gender-responsive climate policies, plans, strategies and action, as appropriate.

The meeting was held in person during the fifty-eighth sessions of the subsidiary bodies in Bonn, spanning four sessions of three hours on 13 and 14 June 2023.

This informal report summarizes the key messages, proceedings and discussions from the meeting, and identifies possible ways forward.
