Resumen de referencias sobre género

Gender is broadly mentioned in this document, both times to provide context for the NDC.

First, the NDC briefly references Council Conclusions 19 December 2019, 15272/19, which recognizes the crucial role of nature-based solutions in solving global challenges such as poverty, hunger, health, gender inequality, disaster risk reduction, and climate change, among others.

Gender is also mentioned in the annex providing more information to help facilitate clarity, transparency, and understanding, the section on contextual matters for the NDC. Here, the EU highlighted its “commitment to gender equality, as articulated in the European Pact on Gender Equality,” and the integration of human rights and gender equality dimensions by Member States into their national plans and strategies, under the EU Energy Union Governance Regulations.
