The guide supports Commonwealth member countries on the journey towards gender equality in climate action.  It encourages users to reflect on the NDC update processes and provides a sample of best practices from across Commonwealth NDCs and timelines for action.

UNFCCC Subsidiary Body for Implementation
​Synthesis Report 

Future Earth Ltd's work carried out under the NDC Partnership in Antigua and Barbuda was detailed in the June 2022 SBI Synthesis Report in which Activity A.3 is aimed at enhancing capacity-building for governments and other relevant stakeholders to collect, analyse and apply sex-disaggregated data and gender analysis in the context of climate change. 
We helped the Department of Environment to strengthen the evidence base for and understanding the differentiated impacts of climate change on women and men and carried out capacity-building workshops on the use of data collection and analysis tools.

Gender Integration for Climate Action:
A Review of Commonwealth Member Country NDCs

"Women and young people are valuable positive agents of change. They are champions for inclusive climate action which is essential for communities and economies to thrive".
Future Earth carried out the baseline analysis and assessment of the extent to which gender is integrated in Commonwealth Member Countries’ NDCs.
The first edition report was launched at COP26 in Glasgow at the Commonwealth Secretariat Pavilion.

Financial Sector Adaptation
Future Earth led the outreach and engagement of the Financial Sector (Regulators, Ministries of Finance, banks & credit unions) under the A&B EnGenDER project. 
We first developed and conducted a light Capacity Needs Assessment to gage the capacity of the Financial Sector to assess and account for gender differentiated climate-related physical and transitional risks.  Through direct consultations and workshops, key stakeholders refined draft measures to improve the consideration of climate risk in a gender-responsive way and the team developed the Financial Sector Adaptation Strategy and M&E Plan.
In the  Northern District of Sierra Leone, Future Earth secured EUR 1.2mill for Trócaire to work with local community organisations Trócaire, AAD-SL, DESAL and WOFHRAD to strengthen their capacity to support vulnerable women and youth raise their standard of living through income diversification and progressive agro-ecological approaches.  
By learning to map their economic and natural assets (with geo-satellite imagery) and developing local sustainability plans, communities are improving the natural resource management of the degraded forests and land.  By using simple irrigation techniques and installing/upgrading wells agricultural productivity is increased and improving hygiene practices helps combat water-borne diseases to improve health.  Crucial is the programme of work educating women and girls on their rights and the national gender justice laws which empowers them to hold local and district authorities to account.

​Feasibility & Case Studies

UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office

Funded by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Future Earth carried out feasibility studies and a suite of capacity building workshops and events to improve understanding of integrated systems models for city planning and resource investment in Ulan Batar, Mongolia.  Tackling air and eye pollution from burning coal in gers, refuse collection and recycling, and water contamination issues arising from widespread use of pit latrines are all pressing problems for women and which compete for the limited public purse.
