(UNSDCF Outcome 3)
Key stakeholders at federal, provincial and local levels have enhanced capacity to advance gender-responsive climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, preparedness, and effective response, recovery, and resilience.
Effective community-based mechanisms are in place to ensure gender-responsive climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, preparedness, and effective response, recovery, and resilience.
In addition to results reported by UN Women field offices (shown here), results achieved in countries and territories through the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UNTF) are included in a non-duplicative manner in the global reporting on this indicator (see the Our Global Results page).

In the reporting period, some progress was made towards promoting an inclusive, sustainable, climate-resilient, and green society, particularly benefiting women, youth, children, and the marginalized. T he government of Nepal has made strong commitment and efforts towards strengthening gender equality in climate action. This was evidenced by the appointment of Ms. Binita Guragain as the new Gender Focal Point for UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the federal Ministry of Forest and Environment. Ms. Binita was able to strengthen her expertise on gender responsive right-based climate action through her participation in the cross-country learning workshop on “Enhancing capacity from design to action – gender responsive rights-based climate action, organized by UN Women Center for Excellence in Korea. One of they UN Women personnel from Nepal Country Office also facilitated a session on “gender-responsiveness in climate action”. A total of 13 women (five government officials and eight CSO members) enhanced their skills through various international trainings in gender-responsive climate action and disaster risk reduction with financial and technical support from UN Women. Two participants from Women Humanitarian and Disaster Risk Reduction Platform and Women Friendly Disaster Management Group are now conducting the Rapid Gender Assessment (RGA) in the earthquake affected districts namely, Jajarkot and West Rukum, to assess differential needs and concerns of diverse women for recovery phase. These members received training on women's participation and leadership in crisis response and RGA with funding support from UN Women. UN Women has also established a partnership with Feminist Dalit Organization to distribute relief package in the same districts. Women and excluded people in Bajhang district are now accessing information related to post disaster services provided by the local government and service providers. Additionally, the household work burden on these women was reduced with the use of fuel-saving and improved cooking devices provided by UN Women. Further, they also reported notable reduction of indoor air pollution otherwise caused by the traditional cooking stoves, ultimately contributing to their health condition. A total of 250 women affected by earthquake in Bajhang district received relief items including solar radio and fuel-saving cooking devices. This was facilitated by Women for Human Rights, a single women’s group, with funding support from UN Women.Disclaimer and notes
