Chile

Chile’s NDC incorporates a gender approach in all policies, programmes, climate change plans and actions.

As part of the capacity-building strategy, Chile outlines:

• The design and implementation of the NDC must consider a fair allocation of charges, costs and benefits, with a focus on gender and special emphasis on sectors, communities and ecosystems vulnerable to climate change;
• During the implementation phase of the NDC, existing studies and analysis on climate vulnerability and risk in Chile will be updated and expanded to address relevant threats, considering gender in the approach. Those studies will serve as key inputs for the design of adaptation measures;
• By 2025, assessments of climate change risk to vulnerable groups nation-wide will be carried out, with a special focus on indigenous peoples, poverty and gender;
• Forests are intimately linked to the cross-cutting elements of the NDC in terms of adaptation: i) Water security; ii) Disaster Risk Reduction; iii) Inclusion of vulnerable groups, with a special focus on gender; and iv) Nature-based solutions.
