Gender-Responsive Climate Action Training

This training responded to ADB's commitments under the Climate Change Action Plan 2023-2030 and Strategy 2030, which prioritize gender equality and climate action. Recognizing the disproportionate impacts of climate change on women and the importance of integrating gender-responsive approaches in climate-related operations, the training aimed to build staff capacity to design and implement gender-transformative climate solutions across ADB's operations.
