Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the seventeenth issue of the CoP Gender's Knowledge Digest! In this edition, we feature the latest updates from COP27 and resources focused on gender equality and climate action!
Explore two new launches this week: the latest Gender Equality in Public Administration (GEPA) brief looks at women's participation and leadership in climate and environment ministries; and UNDP's new data platform highlights the progress made by countries in integrating gender equality considerations in their national climate plans (NDCs).
In the ‘Dig Deeper’ section, we celebrate the launch of the 10-point Action Agenda – a powerful roadmap to advance gender equality in crisis settings, a complement to UNDP’s new Crisis Offer and Gender Equality Strategy 2022-2025.
As we inch closer to the end of the year and the pilot phase of this Knowledge Digest, we want to hear from you! Please take a few moments to share your views via this short survey by 30 November, to help us gain insight into the needs and interests of our community! Thank you!
Happy reading,
CoP Gender Team

"Establishing gender equality in participation and leadership across environmental ministries and climate change machineries is a high return opportunity. First, mainstreaming women’s participation across ministries in charge of climate change policy and at all levels of decision-making encourages the breakdown of existing glass walls and ceilings within public administration, making it more inclusive across different policy domains. Second, diverse climate change policymaking promises more efficient, effective and sustainable climate change policy outcomes for all."

Where Do Countries Stand in Terms of Advancing Gender Equality Through NDCs?
Every five years, countries and territories develop national climate action pledges, known as Nationally Determined Contributions or NDCs, to define priorities and plans. Including in mitigation and adaptation efforts across sectors, NDCs offer unique opportunities to integrate gender equality in climate action - and 95% of UNDP Climate Promise-supported countries are doing so. Explore the new data platform to see how countries across the world are thinking about gender and climate links – and key areas for investment and action ahead.

A Missing Brick for Sustaining Women's Movements, Spotlight Initiative
Financial sustainability is key to effective programming and yet, organizations working for women's rights remain chronically underfunded. Learn more about the importance of flexible institutional funding in strengthening the efforts and influence of local women's organizations in this brief.
There Is No Climate Justice Without Gender Justice, Equal Measures 2030
Far too often, climate related policies ignore the lived realities of people and are not backed by research on the intersecting forms of discrimination faced by vulnerable groups. What can we do to address structural gender inequalities before climate change amplifies them?
The Hunger Crisis and Its Impact on Girls: Policy Brief, Plan International
Women and girls account for 70% of the world’s hungry. Food insecurity not only impacts the health and nutrition of girls, but also places them at risk of gender-based violence, including sexual exploitation and abuse. This policy brief outlines drivers of the hunger crisis and recommendations to mitigate it.
Gender Analysis in Non-Traditional Sectors: Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance, UN Women
Despite sustained efforts towards gender mainstreaming, significant gaps remain in the integration of gender perspectives in emergent and less traditional thematic areas. This guidance note offers practical steps for the integration of gender analysis in Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI).
Using Big Data for Insights Into the Gender Digital Divide for Girls: A Discussion Paper, UNICEF
Lack of data on the access and use of digital technologies by adolescent girls compounded by methodological challenges has further widened the gender digital divide. Can big data help address this gap? Find out in this report.

On 9 November, UNDP virtually launched the new Ten Point Action Agenda for Advancing Gender Equality in Crisis Settings (10PAA); a roadmap to guide development programming to transform and advance gender equality in crisis contexts.
Central to both UNDP’s Crisis Offer and the Gender Equality Strategy 2022-2025, it guides us to go beyond the technicalities and put people - women, men, youth, and those most left behind - at the centre of UNDP's engagements, challenge the status quo of norms, and support interventions that address patriarchal values and institutions. It represents a strong commitment to go deeper and address power imbalances, which feed inequalities, conflicts, and crises.
The 10PAA is the result of a broad consultation process, carried out over a period of two years, that aimed at finding entry points to strengthen gender-transformational results and women’s leadership and participation in crisis contexts. It is grounded in the understanding that deep-rooted, intersectional discrimination sits at the heart of the multiple challenges humanity faces and reinforces models of dominance that exclude and leave women behind, especially in crisis settings. Read the 10PAA here.
