New! Summary report by the secretariat
SBI 60
3-5 June 2024, Bonn, Germany
Meeting room: Bangkok
Introduction and mandate
Decision 15/CP.28 mandates the initiation of the final review of the enhanced Lima work programme on gender (LWPG) and its gender action plan (GAP)[1] at SB 60. It invited Parties, United Nations entities, the UNFCCC constituted bodies and relevant organizations, in accordance with their respective mandates and priorities, to submit their inputs on progress, challenges, gaps and priorities in implementing the GAP, and on future work to be undertaken on gender and climate change.
The secretariat was requested to prepare a synthesis report on the submissions[2] and to organize a workshop at SB 60 to discuss the synthesis report, with focused regional-level and global-level discussions and requested the secretariat to prepare a summary report reflecting the discussions held at the workshop.
In this two-and-a-half-day workshop, participants will have the opportunity to share experiences and views on progress, challenges, gaps and priorities in implementing the GAP. They will also be able to exchange views and discuss priorities for the future work on gender and climate change.
When?
Methodology
- Presentations made by the secretariat will be based on the synthesis report on progress, challenges, gaps and priorities in implementing the GAP, and on future work to be undertaken on gender and climate change. The report reflects what has been reported in submissions and what has been reflected in regular reports by the UNFCCC.
- Supporting documents will be available on this website.
Expected Outcome
- Participants reflect on and discuss progress, challenges, gaps and priorities in implementing the GAP, and on future work to be undertaken on gender and climate change
