The 64th Subsidiary Body session will take place in Bonn, Germany from 8-18 June 2026.
At this session, three mandated events in implementation of the Belém Gender Action Plan are to take place - some of which require prior registration!
Check the details below for more information:
| | Expert dialogue on relevant issues in gender- and age-disaggregated data and gender analysis | | |
The Expert dialogue on relevant issues in gender- and age-disaggregated data and gender analysis will convene experts specializing in gender- and age-disaggregated data and gender analysis in the context of climate change, as well as the practitioners who utilize this data for climate policy and action. It aims to map the landscape of gender- and age-disaggregated data relevant to climate change — including existing datasets, frameworks, and good practices at global and national levels — while identifying gaps, barriers, and opportunities to enhance coherence, as well as to integrate multidimensional factors in data collection, use and analysis.
Featuring panel discussions as well as interactive group work, the dialogue is an early and foundational step in supporting the GAP’s coherent, multi-year architecture for strengthening the robust evidence base required for gender-responsive climate policy and action and for ensuring that climate policy is grounded on the best available data.

❗️ Registration is needed to participate in this event. Register by May 24th here.
| In-session workshop on best practices and tools for strengthening the role of national gender and climate change focal points (NGCCFP) | | Interactive Dialogue on Progress in the Delivery of Gender-Responsive Climate Finance | | |
The first annual Dialogue on progress in the delivery of gender-responsive climate finance aims to provide a platform for an evidence-based exchange, bringing together operating entities of the Financial Mechanism, multilateral climate funds, national focal points including NGCCFPs, and other stakeholders to assess progress, identify gaps, and inform future action in the delivery of gender-responsive climate finance.

The WGC has also launched the “Act on the Belém GAP” Campaign, mobilizing members and allies to engage key actors responsible for the effective and timely implementation of Belém GAP, including through meetings with National Gender and Climate Change Focal Points happening across the world this week. Their collective SB 64 demands across workstreams will be available on their website, where you can also subscribe to their newsletter, The Caucus, via the sign-up field at the bottom of the page.

Earth Day’s call this year – Our Power, Our Planet – serves as a reminder that taking action on climate change is about more than simply ambition: it's about who will benefit from it. The Gender Equality and Climate Policy Scorecard by UN Women is a useful tool to monitor whether climate policies are beneficial for women and girls and to implement commitments. Learn more about how it assesses the gender-responsiveness of climate policies across six dimensions: economic security, unpaid care work, gender-based violence, health, participation and leadership, and gender mainstreaming.
