has developed the present training manual. The purpose of presenting the
concepts in this manual is to increase the capacity of policy and decision makers
so that efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change are gender-sensitive.
The training manual draws on existing in-house materials (research
data, analyses and extracts from international frameworks) that have been
adapted or expanded but also includes newly compiled case studies to illustrate
the concepts in each module. It presents key conceptual and methodological
advances in gender relations in the context of climate change. The topics
covered in this manual relate to the topics covered in the Bali Action Plan.
