As COP26 presidents, we want to see all countries stepping up their commitments to promote gender equality in climate action. The UNFCCC Gender Action Plan is the guiding tool for action on gender-responsive climate policies and finance, and empowering women and girls to be leaders in local and national responses to climate change. Through the COP26 Health Programme the UK is also working alongside our international partners to champion the development of climate resilient health systems, which should encompass the development of resilient sexual and reproductive health services.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 08/07/2021 13:05:47 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton
