Technologies are not gender neutral, and tackling climate change demands that everyone's experience and skills are utilized. Therefore climate technology action needs to ensure that women and men are both engaged in decision-making processes, development and use of technologies, and benefit from their outcomes. Women commonly face higher risks and greater burdens from the impacts of climate change, and their needs must be addressed to ensure effective and equitable climate change actions. Women also bring new perspectives and innovations in identifying and implementing solutions. Below you will find gender-related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring the topic of gender and climate change solutions further.

El Grupo Constituyente de Mujeres y Género, junto con otras organizaciones de mujeres, género y derechos humanos, ha estado presionando activamente a líderes y lideresas mundiales para que garanticen políticas climáticas justas y equitativas que pongan en primer lugar el respeto a los derechos de las personas y la integridad del planeta, al tiempo que respondan a la injusticia entre los países y dentro de ellos en relación con los impactos climáticos y la resiliencia.
