Highlights

This guide and accompanying tools have been developed to support and encourage UNICEF country offices globally, partners and stakeholders to plan and implement gender-transformative climate change programmes. Currently, few organizations or initiatives work at the intersection of child rights, gender equality and climate change, and there is a need and opportunity for the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to spearhead local, national and global action around these critical issues.

This guide includes five practical tools that have been developed to assist UNICEF staff, partners and stakeholders in integrating a gender-transformative approach into key stages of climate change programming - from identifying the gendered impacts of climate change on children, including underlying gender structures and norms, through to gender-transformative programme and indicator design, as well as identifying key areas for influencing national governments.
