The roles of women in family and business life are also of great importance for the success of the steps to be taken against climate change. The United Nations (UN) Climate Change Gender Action Plan includes the goals of “full, equal and meaningful participation of women” in the implementation of the UN climate change negotiation and the dissemination of a gender perspective in UN bodies. Similarly, gender-sensitive approaches of the Green Climate Fund are supported in all its processes and practices, including gender policy, especially projects related to gender issues.
