ABSTRACT

REDD+ is recognized in the Paris Agreement as a key mitigation policy for addressing climate change. However, a major challenge that has impeded REDD+ is ensuring gender equity. This paper analyses the policies and progress of gender mainstreaming in REDD+ processes in 17 countries between 2008 and 2019. Findings show that there are increasing political commitment and numerous policies in place that emphasize the need for gender equity in REDD+. There are differences in the level of gender mainstreaming across the 17 countries studied. We found several enabling conditions that would help countries to advance gender mainstreaming, including strong political commitment, clear gender action plans, strong law enforcement, dedicated funding for gender, and inclusive decision-making. The paper also illustrates how countries transform political commitment on gender mainstreaming in REDD+ into action.

摘要

REDD+ 在《巴黎协定》中被确认为应对气候变化的关键缓解政策。然而，阻碍REDD+的一个主要挑战是确保性别平等。本文分析了 2008 年至 2019 年 17 个国家在 REDD+ 进程中性别主流化的政策和进展。调查结果表明，越来越多的政治承诺和许多政策都强调了 REDD+ 中性别平等的必要性。所研究的 17 个国家的性别主流化水平存在差异。我们发现了一些有助于各国推进性别主流化的有利条件，包括强有力的政治承诺、明确的性别行动计划、强有力的执法、专门的性别资助以及包容性决策。
