WEBINAR: GENDER MAINSTREAMING GUIDELINE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE
PROJECTS IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA

Climate change would only serve to exacerbate these uncertainties in which the most vulnerable in
our communities will stand to be the most affected, especially women and children. The impacts of
climate change will affect women and men differently. The domestic burdens of women increase
substantially with various manifestations of climate change.
As part of PNG’s first Readiness and Preparatory Project under the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the
Climate Change & Development Authority (CCDA) has organized an interactive participant forum
Webinar to discuss these concerns. The Webinar is facilitated by the Global Green Growth Institute
(GGGI) as the delivery partner of the project with technical support from Moana Continent. The
Webinar will bring together expertise and learnings from leaders in Papua New Guinea.

This Webinar will present the draft gender mainstreaming guideline that will help CCDA and the
project implementers better incorporate gender perspectives and participation of women in
climate change projects in Papua New Guinea. The Webinar will give an opportunity to participants
to discuss the gender considerations and strategies that need to be considered and implemented
when developing and implementing climate change projects in Papua New Guinea.
