The “Climate Change and Gender Action Plan” document is a strategic framework that aims to integrate gender considerations into Nigeria’s climate change policies and actions. Recognizing the disproportionate impact of climate change on women and the crucial role they play in climate adaptation and mitigation, this action plan outlines specific measures to ensure gender-responsive climate policies.
It sets forth objectives, strategies, and activities designed to promote gender equality in climate action, enhance women’s participation in decision-making processes, and ensure that climate initiatives are inclusive and equitable.
This document serves as a guiding tool for policymakers, stakeholders, and practitioners, facilitating the implementation of gender-sensitive approaches within Nigeria’s climate change efforts. By addressing the intersectionality of gender and climate change, the action plan underscores Nigeria’s commitment to fostering resilience and sustainable development that benefits all segments of society.
