Venue: Global Climate Action, round table room
Over the past 20 years, a number of UNFCCC decisions have addressed the important linkages between gender and climate change. As requested in the UNFCCC Gender Action Plan, the Climate Technology Centre & Network and UNEP DTU Partnership is providing capacity building and knowledge sharing on gender mainstreaming in Technology Needs Assessments. The objectives of this training event are to:
· Focus on sharing lessons learned, country experiences and key recommendations for development and implementation of gender-responsive Technology Needs Assessments (TNAs) with the aim of building the capacity of operating entities and stakeholders throughout the TNA process.
· Facilitate discussions on gender-just technology prioritization, support identification of needs, and build the capacity of stakeholders to systematically ensure equal participation of men and women in national planning processes
