What is Green Climate Fund

Climate change caused by the anthropogenic accumulation of greenhouse gasses in the air is affecting all life on earth and bearing upon human undertakings thereby representing the most complicated challenge of our time. Across cultures, the impacts of climate change affect women and men differently. Although women being disproportionately impacted by climate change, they play a key role in adapting and mitigating climate change. This is why UN-Climate Change negotiations have incorporated gender action plans to guarantee equal room and resources for women and men for decision-making and action on climate change at all levels. For instance, a gender-sensitive approach to climate finance is increasingly being used to better tackle future gender inequalities as seen in the green climate fund scenario. The purpose of this paper is to encourage awareness of importance of gender and cultural diversity inclusion in climate change actions.
