[Regional Cross-Learning Workshop] Delivering Solutions: Accelerating Gender-Responsive Climate Action in Asia and the Pacific

Date: 3 - 5 March 2025

Climate change is a defining threat of the 21^st century, bringing irreversible losses to communities, livelihoods and the environment. The warming rate continues to accelerate and is currently increasing three times faster than four decades before. The Asia-Pacific region, in particular, is the hardest hit by climate change and faces impacts well above the global average.

Despite the region’s exposure to climate risks, it is also positioned to benefit from the global shift towards net-zero transitions. With substantial renewable energy potential, the region has potential to drive the transition that can benefit both local livelihoods and the environment. Advancing this transition for climate action required collaborative efforts, targeted policies and inclusive approaches that prioritize the needs of all communities.

Under the EmPower: Women for Climate Resilient Societies (EmPower) Programme, UN Women and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) are co-organizing this workshop that provides a collaborative platform for regional stakeholders, such as government representatives and development partners, to engage in meaningful dialogue and share experiences in advancing climate action across the Asia-Pacific region. By focusing on country-specific plans, policies and programmes, such as the status and progress in implementing gender-responsive NDCs, participants will have the opportunity to exchange insights on successful strategies, challenges and solutions implemented in their respective contexts.
