Gender composition. Report by the secretariat
Agenda item

COP 30

14. 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 two case studies: the first analyses the gender composition of side event panels held at the twenty-sixth through twenty-ninth sessions of the Conference of the Parties and at the fifty-sixth, fifty-eighth, sixtieth and sixty-second sessions of the subsidiary bodies; and the second discusses gender composition across the Rio Conventions.
