Explicitly recognize the role of women as agents of change in the transformation towards a low-carbon and resilient society (Mexico) Include gender perspective as a cross-cutting issue in national development models, recognizing that climate change will disproportionately impact particularly vulnerable groups (Peru) Recognize the need to develop gender-neutral policies and measures that bring social inclusion, improve livelihood security, increase resilience, and reduce emissions (Nigeria) (source : WRI)

10 Gender under the Paris Work Programme
