Bonn, Germany (May 08, 2017) – At the opening session of the APA Dinda Yura delivered the intervention on behalf of the Women and Gender Constituency. She emphasised that all matters under the APA must be dealt with in a holistic view taking into account the preamble of the Paris Agreement that acknowledged gender equality, the empowerment of women, intergenerational equity, human rights, the rights of indigenous people, and a just transition of the workforce.
She pointed out that a process needs to be established to allow for the systematic review of these principles in all matters related to the APA. In addition, there must be coherence between the transparency framework and other key elements such as Adaptation Fund, Global Stocktake, NDCs and the compliance mechanism. Not least of all Dinda demanded that climate finance must be 100% gender-responsive.
