Vanuatu is advancing in its commitment to make sure its climate action initiatives are gender-inclusive and equitable for all, prioritizing the principle of leaving no one behind.

 Vanuatu, a signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), has been actively engaged in addressing gender disparities in climate resilience efforts for some time now. 

At COP25 in December 2019, parties agreed to a five-year enhanced Lima work programme on gender, and a gender action plan. This is the last year of the enhanced Lima work programme and the country reporting on progress towards implementation of this gender action plan is due on 31 March this year.
