State of Gender Equality and Climate Change in Cambodia

The
purpose of this assessment report on gender equality and climate change is to
analyse the gendered impacts of climate change and to raise awareness about the
benefits of, and need for gender-responsive climate action. The study has two
main objectives: i) to strengthen country-driven processes by presenting more
evidence of the links between gender equality and climate change and analysing
gendered impacts in the key adaptation and mitigation sectors; and ii) to
provide country-specific recommendations about how to enhance gender responsive
policy implementation and further bolster the integration of gender equality in
climate-relevant policy areas. The study uses a combination-research approach
comprising a desk review, semi-structured interviews with key informants,
secondary data analysis and multi-stakeholder consultation. Using the
Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework and the Global Gender
and Environment Outlook (GGEO) of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) to assess
the state of gender equality and climate change policy, the conceptual analysis
consists of five fundamental components: driving forces; pressures; state;
impacts; and responses. The study includes a sectoral gender-based analysis of
four priority sectors – energy and forestry for mitigation action and agriculture
and rural development for adaptation areas.Link to full report and brief for policymakers:
