In 2021, the National Gender and Climate Change Plan for 2021-2024 was approved within the framework of the National Climate Change and Variability Response System (SNRCC). This plan defines how gender is integrated in the NDC, especially with regard to gender equality in the measures included in this second NDC. The inclusion of gender is evident in this second NDC compared to the first NDC. The inclusions are as follow:
The implementation of the second NDC is guided by the respect and safeguarding of human rights and the preservation of ecosystems, with a perspective of inclusion, intra- and intergenerational equity, gender from an intersectional approach, and including a just transition.
A gender perspective is considered in a cross-cutting manner in the national adaptation planning strategy on priority areas for climate vulnerability, for example, National Adaptation Plan (NAP) for the Coastal Zone to Climate Variability and Change (PNA-Coasts) and National Plan for Adaptation to Climate Variability and Change in Cities and Infrastructure (PNA-Cities). A Gender Working Group was established to contribute to the development of adaptation actions.
Capacity building measures with gender commitments include: (i) By 2030, the technical capacities on gender and climate change of at least 80% of the gender mechanisms of the three levels of government will be strengthened, and (ii) By 2030, the gender policy for the agricultural sector will include climate change adaptation and mitigation considerations.
