Colombia

References to gender are present throughout the text of Colombia’s updated NDC. A gender approach is utilized when mobilizing public participation in the country. In its discussion of its national circumstances, the document recognizes the importance of collecting differentiated information that helps describe social circumstances of different groups. In this regard, efforts are undertaken to collect sex-differentiated data, data on gender inequality that is relevant to adaptation and mitigation, and gender-differentiated data on climate impacts and vulnerabilities. To manage climate change issues, planning, education, training and awareness are to be added to the country’s curriculum. Gender is mentioned several times in relation to the targets and goals for this objective. For example, the targets consider gender in formal education, climate change policy and strategies and the country’s education policy. Ultimately, these targets aim to incorporate a gender approach (among other improvements) in climate change and education mechanisms and strategies.
