Implementation of priority climate change programs is a joint responsibility led by the Ministry of Health and Environment.

Summary of gender reference 

Among priorities for building climate resilience: “Create the supportive enabling framework whereby communities and vulnerable segments of society (women, youth, elderly, people with disabilities) can manage their own climate change risks, thereby addressing climate change impacts on vulnerable sectors (particularly agriculture, fisheries and water resources) and threats to food security, human health, poverty alleviation, sustainable livelihoods and economic growth.”

Another priority: “the legal establishment of Climate Change Trust Fund to provide support to vulnerable segments of society, including women.”
