This report is part of the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Centre for Justice Research Report Series.
Funded by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR), this paper explores the meaning, place and dominant voices surrounding gender within the United Nations Framework Convention of Climate Change (UNFCCC). This analysis was carried out in order to understand why action on gender by the Conference of the Parties (COP) has been largely limited to counting the number of women on committees or attending sessions, as opposed to embedding gender more meaningfully into climate action.
The report serves as a guide and resource for negotiators as they prepare for future UNFCCC COP Gender sessions.
