چکیده
* The views expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of the United Nations. Introduction Despite its status and development within the United Nations international system, climate change policy-making has failed to adopt a gender-sensitive strategy. This failure not only generates concern in terms of respect for gender equity at the international level, it also leads to shortcomings in the efficiency and effectiveness of climate related measures and instruments. Without a gender-sensitive method of analysis, it is impossible to determine the full set of causes and potential effects of climate change. Furthermore, studies have shown that women and men experience climate change differently in terms of their adaptability, responsibility , vulnerability and aptitude for mitigation. Hence, the international climate change negotiation process – as well as climate policies at regional, national and local levels-must adopt the principles of gender equity at all stages: from research, to analysis, and the design and implementation of mitigation and adaptation strategies. This applies in particular to the process towards a post-2012 climate protection regime, i.e. a future system for the protection of the Earth's climate that needs to be ready when the current Kyoto Protocol's first commitment period ends. A multi-pronged strategy, using various entry-points, mechanisms and tools, seems advisable in order to achieve this goal. One key step, and challenge, is to increase the participation of women and gender experts in decision-making on climate change at all levels.
