Integration of gender aspects into climate change adaptation and low-carbon developmen

The project was working to mainstream the gender dimension in climate change adaptation and low-carbon development (LCD) measures in developing countries and in national and international climate policy. It provided training for representatives of community-based and non-governmental organisations and government employees on gender-sensitive adaptation and LCD measures, and supported this work with corresponding information and training materials. In addition, the project developed indicators and methodologies for strengthening and monitoring gender-sensitive adaptation measures and formulates proposals for political strategies.
