WOMEN’S PARTICIPATION IN THE UNFCCC: 2022 REPORT

Throughout the past several years of the international climate change
negotiations, alongside the establishment of a new sustainable development
agenda, governments across the world have agreed that promoting gender equality
and protecting women’s human rights are necessary to meet global climate and
development goals.

Parties to the UNFCCC have emphasized the importance of women’s leadership in
climate change policymaking across several key decisions, including under the
gender action plan (GAP). While we have seen many great initiatives to enhance
women’s participation, from travel funds to mentorship networks, progress
remains uneven and unacceptably slow.

Since 2009, as a part of ongoing efforts to enhance women’s voice and leadership
in climate change policy-making, the Women’s Environment and Development
Organization (WEDO) has tracked the participation of women delegates on national
delegations to the UNFCCC—across countries, regions and as Heads of Delegations.
We have documented and shared these statistics on the Gender Climate Tracker
website and mobile app, and produce regular briefs on the status of these
figures.


KEY TAKEAWAYS:

The percentage of women across all national delegations rose from 30% for
meetings in 2009 to 38% in 2021, a less than 10 percentage point increase
despite greater policy commitments and activities to promote equal
participation.

For COPs, only 10% of Heads of Delegations were women in 2009 and 13% in 2021,
with a low of 9% in 2015 and high of 26% in 2017. Arguably, COP15 in 2009 and
COP21 in 2015 were considered pivotal decisionmaking events under the UNFCCC,
highlighting that as more senior officials take up the role as Head of
Delegation, the more likely they are to be men.

Women’s participation tends to be highest in delegations from Latin America,
Eastern Europe, and Western Europe, often between 45% and 50%, and lowest in
Africa and Asia, often between 30% and 35%.

At this rate of change, gender parity in national COP delegations will not be
achieved until 2040, and gender parity in COP Heads of Delegations will not be
achieved within the forecastable future.
