Relevant Context
A Least Developed Country (LDC) that is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change
Process for Developing NDC
Myanmar’s updated NDC was “largely informed by sectoral policies and plans developed through sectoral planning processes for both climate change adaptation and mitigation.” Furthermore, there were several rounds of stakeholder and technical consultations for this update, to which relevant departments and organizations contributed.
Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism
In order to promote their Climate Change Policy, Myanmar established a National Environmental Conservation and Climate Change Central Committee (NECCCCC). This Committee tackles environmental and climate change issues at the national and union level. Of its six committees, one is tasked with overseeing climate change mitigation and adaptation, by "overseeing and reporting on actions undertaken within the framework of the NDC,” with further support from “the [country’s’] Climate Change Adaptation sub-working committees.”
Summary of Gender Reference
Gender is referenced eleven times throughout Myanmar’s Updated NDC. Gender equality will reportedly be ensured in all capacity building programs, where women and men can equally participate. Gender considerations will also be included in mitigation activities dealing with sustainable resource management. Moreover, gender mainstreaming is recognized as important in addressing climate hazards and loss and damage. Gender considerations, social protection and risk finance capacity will all be included “to prepare for and recover from potential loss and damage resulting from climate change.” Gender-sensitive approaches are mentioned throughout the section on agriculture. These include “gender inclusive production systems and value enhancement for small-holders, producer and processing SMEs, cooperatives and associations.” Gender and socially inclusive considerations within the agriculture, fisheries and livestock sectors are also taken into account.
