Workshop on gender-responsive climate policy

The gender-sensitive NAMA (Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action) in Georgia consists of the implementation of 11.500 energy efficiency stoves, house insulations and solar water heaters. To develop the NAMA, WECF collaborates with sustainable energy cooperatives in 5 Georgian regions with the aim to fight climate change and ensure environmental sustainability while promoting renewable energies and gender equality.
The main outcomes of the NAMA are:
- Substantial energy savings for households (more than 30%)
- Over 36 000 t CO2 emission reductions
- Gender-equal technical trainings for solar energy and energy efficiency
- 23 certified women solar energy specialists
- Reduced unpaid domestic work burden for women
Recommendations, best practices and lessons learned from developing the first „Gender Sensitive“ NAMA - National Appropriate Mitigation Action, in Georgia, can be found here.
