 At the UNFCCC, there has been slow progress in attaining the goal of gender balance. And there are a number of things that parties could do to achieve the goal of gender balance. It is very easy for women to participate in negotiations on climate change. We ask the UNFCCC Convention on Climate Change to encourage countries to adopt at least 40% of women in their delegations. This will allow for the inclusion of points of view, but also to take into account the concern of all the sides of society. At least half of the delegates to be women and also to ensure the meaningful participation and representation of female negotiator. It is very important that they are trained to be part of this negotiation process so that they actively participate and articulate the challenges and solutions pertaining to their special circumstances. Trainings and support should be given to them so that it build their capacity, build their confidence and encourage them to be in the process for a long run.
