Climate change is a defining threat of the 21st century, bringing irreversible losses to communities, livelihoods and the environment. The Asia-Pacific region, in particular, is the hardest hit by climate change and faces impacts well above the global average.
Despite the region’s exposure to climate risks, it is also positioned to benefit from the global shift towards net-zero transitions. Advancing this transition for climate action required collaborative efforts, targeted policies and inclusive approaches that prioritize the needs of all communities.
Under the EmPower: Women for Climate Resilient Societies (EmPower) Programme, UN Women and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) co-organized the regional cross-learning workshop "Delivering Solutions: Accelerating Gender-Responsive Climate Action in Asia and the Pacific" from 3-5 March 2025 that provides a collaborative platform for regional stakeholders, such as government representatives and development partners, to engage in meaningful dialogue and share experiences in advancing climate action across the Asia-Pacific region.
