Experience from preparing gender responsive TNAs

This briefing note presents and discusses key trends and insights regarding efforts to mainstream gender in the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) process and the role that climate technologies can play in ensuring gender-responsive climate action. Reflecting on the gender considerations included in reports from the first countries conducting TNAs since the publication of the "Guidance for a gender-responsive Technology Needs Assessment" in 2018, we will conclude with some lessons learnt from TNAs, so that climate technology planning and actions are strengthened and gender-responsive.

Emissions Gap report 2021

It is very promising that an increasing number of countries are pledging net-zero emissions by around mid-century. By now, more than 50% of global GHG emissions are covered by such pledges. But these pledges are in many cases not reflected in in near-term plans and action. That has to urgently change to maintain confidence that the net-zero emissions pledges can actually be achieved.

Adaption Gap report 2021

The Adaptation Gap Report 2021: The Gathering Storm, from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), found that while policies and planning are growing for climate change adaptation, financing and implementation are still far behind where they need to be.

“As the world looks to step up efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions – efforts that are still not anywhere strong enough – it must also dramatically up its game to adapt to climate change,” said Inger Andersen, Executive Director of UNEP. “Even if we were to turn off the tap on greenhouse gas emissions today, the impacts of climate change would be with us for many decades to come. We need a step change in adaptation ambition for funding and implementation to significantly reduce damages and losses from climate change. And we need it now.”
