As part of its sector support, the Ministry of Women’s Affairs is committed to address gender in all national climate change adaptation and mitigation policies and strategies under the current National 5-year strategy, Neary Rattanak 3. It is also envisaged that as a follow up of this strategic plan, Neary Rattanak 4, the 5-year strategic plan for 2014-2018 will lay further emphasis on climate change. While commitment is in place, understanding of gender and climate change linkages by institutions working on gender and climate change is limited. While capacity development activities and action planning have been introduced with support from UNDP Cambodia, in partnership with UNDP Asia-Pacific Regional Centre in Bangkok and ENERGIA, through a number of sectoral projects and programme, a larger and more strategic opportunity will arise when the Government adopts the Cambodian Climate Change Strategic Plan in 2012 under the support from the Cambodia Climate Change Alliance (CCCA) Programme funded by the EU, Sida, Danida and UNDP. To address this important and urgent need, the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, Ministry of Environment and UNDP propose a joint initiative to: - Mainstream climate change into Neary Ratanak 4, climate change sectoral roadmaps and Cambodia climate change strategic plan;
- Develop a national Gender and Climate Change Work Plan to guide the Ministry of Women’s Affairs on climate change and gender activities in the next 5 years;
- Raise awareness on gender and climate change in all sectors;
- Build capacity of the national and sub-national climate change focal groups in MoWA, MoE and other sectoral agencies on gender and climate change; and
- Follow up the implementation of the Gender Action Plans that were prepared in 2011 under the Gender Mainstreaming of UNDP’s Environment and Energy Portfolio.
