Introduction

The report examines the integration of gender and social inclusion in Sri Lanka's climate policies, drawing on UNDP findings to highlight gaps and propose recommendations for aligning national strategies with global climate agreements.

Background and Climate Implications

Sri Lanka's policies and strategies for climate action are assessed for their gender responsiveness. Women face disproportionate climate vulnerabilities due to intersecting factors like limited access to resources and decision-making roles. Climate impacts exacerbate risks in agriculture and water management, with women often leading resilience efforts but remaining marginalized.

Policy Analysis

The review of 21 key policy documents reveals significant gaps in gender integration. Differentiation of climate impacts and commitment to women's participation are underrepresented, while social inclusion perspectives are inconsistently addressed. Recommendations stress the need for explicit gender commitments in policy frameworks.

Recommendations

To improve gender-responsiveness:

• Incorporate gender and social inclusion into climate adaptation and mitigation strategies, with specific targets and indicators.
• Strengthen stakeholder consultations to ensure inclusive policy development.
• Enhance women's access to resources and decision-making to build adaptive capacities.
• Ensure sex-disaggregated data for monitoring progress and accountability.

Conclusion

Sri Lanka's existing policies lack sufficient commitment to gender equality and social inclusion in climate action. Concerted efforts are required to revise frameworks, leveraging international guidance like the Paris Agreement, to foster equitable and resilient development.
