Common indicators are those that appear verbatim the same in at least two entities' results frameworks and are drawn, where possible, directly from other globally agreed frameworks.
CommonAdvocacy and social mobilisation: CSOs representing women and women's groups are able to lead, participate in and influence climate change and DRR decision-making processes
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).

Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.

Needs of women are better addressed by climate change and disaster risk reduction actions for ensuring alternative climate-resilient livelihoods
Climate change continues to impact Asia and the Pacific region. Women and other vulnerable groups remain disproportionately affected by climate-induced disasters and are further put at risk due to growing inequalities and the socio-economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Extreme weather and climate-related events accounted for 83 per cent of all disasters in Asia and the Pacific over the past decade[1]; a pattern that is expected to continue, with the number of climate disasters expected to maintain an upward trend.[2] An alarming forecast, considering that in 2019 more than 75 million people were affected by disasters in Asia and the Pacific.[3] UN Women continues to create an enabling environment for advancing gender equality and human rights in climate change and disaster risk reduction policies and processes in the region through providing technical support and normative guidance to countries and intergovernmental organisations, promoting women’s leadership in climate change, building capacities of governments and women-focused civil society organizations, and fostering genuine partnership and strong regional cooperation. The regional work, through the EmPower: Women for Climate Resilient Societies project, focused on building a comprehensive analysis of gender equality and climate change through the preparation of flagship assessment reports including the NDC assessment report and an interactive map that reviews collective commitments of 49 countries in the region. UN Women has also co-led the preparation of the series of State of Gender Equality and Climate Change reports, including the sub-regional report for the ASEAN and South Asia and Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) Region. The reports are aimed at building evidence and providing concrete recommendations to facilitate country-driven actions and strengthen regional cooperation to advance gender equality and human rights in climate policy and action. As a result of the work, several member states and sectoral bodies have articulated support and a strong commitment to bringing gender equality to the forefront of their climate agenda. Despite the protracted COVID-19 pandemic, UN Women has enabled dialogue and strengthened the capacities of governments and civil society organizations on the nexus of gender equality and climate change through regional consultations and capacity-building activities. Over 2000 government officials, practitioners, and women-focused organizations have increased their knowledge and skills and are equipped to integrate gender equality into climate policy and action. Learning sessions also served to amplify country practices and open the space for collective learning and engagement of key stakeholders. Activity includes facilitating the regional consultation on the “Action Coalition on Feminist Justice for Climate Action” under the Generation Equality Forum campaign, four side events on “Long-term Planning and National Commitments”, “Regional Approaches towards Integrated Climate Solutions”, “Gender-Responsive Climate Action”, and “Making Connections That Matter: Gender and Climate Commitments” during the Asia Pacific Climate Week, regional cross-country peer learning event on the Integration of Gender Equality and Human Rights in Climate Change and Renewable Energy, classroom events and virtual market place on gender and human rights during COP26, and a listening session with women-focused CSOs on gender-responsive DRR, “Breaking Silos, Building Resilience: Listening to Women-Focused Organizations for Climate Action and DRR”. A key achievement through the partnership with UN Environment Programme (UNEP) is linked to the change in the lives of 2411 women in Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Viet Nam who have received support and are economically benefitting from climate-resilient interventions through the use of renewable energy sources. Women entrepreneurs have increased access to finance, knowledge, and skills including business development, financial literacy, and renewable energy technologies. Strategies and lessons on establishing renewable energy enterprises were consolidated and disseminated through the Guidebook on Renewable Energy and Women’s Entrepreneurship Programmes.
