Gender-responsive Climate Action Training Program for Youth Workers
32-hour training program covers linkages between gender and climate change and includes theoretical and practical applications. Developed to improve the capacities of youth workers in GE and/or CC and to enable them to gain new skills and knowledge.
Aims of the tool
This comprehensive training program aims to empower youth workers, NGO staff, researchers, experts, and advocates with the essential knowledge, tools, and methodologies to integrate gender-sensitive and youth-inclusive approaches in their work. By focusing on the intersections of gender, climate change, and youth engagement, the program aims to equip participants to become advocates for inclusive and equitable policymaking, project planning, and program development.
In addition, the training will provide practical guidance on gender-sensitive planning and budgeting, ensuring that participants can implement resource allocation strategies that promote gender equity in climate-related projects. Policy-making and orientation sessions will deepen participants’ ability to influence local, national, and international climate policies by integrating both gender and youth perspectives.
