| Gender Checklist |
|
The present Checklist has been developed under UN-HABITAT’s Cities and Climate Change
Initiative (CCCI). This Initiative seeks to enhance climate change mitigation and adaptation
capacity of cities in developing and least developed countries. The Checklist will look at the
gendered impacts of climate change and the opportunities for women relative to men to feed their
own knowledge into community, city or national-level adaptation and mitigation strategies to
strengthen processes of reducing climate change impacts in the short and long-term. It will also
look at climate change and urban governance, specifically in the context of implementing mitigation
and adaptation actions, and how gender-specific issues can be mainstreamed to ensure that
women together with men, of different social categories, have the capability and equal access to
mitigation and adaptation opportunities, such community-led capacity building initiatives on climate
change, that can greatly contribute to the promotion and incentivization of green micro and small
enterprises, for example in urban agriculture and the waste sector.

| Participatory Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment Toolkit |
|
This toolkit serves as a guide and reference for local governments and other stakeholders in conducting climate change vulnerability and adaptation assessments (V&AA). In conjunction with a climate footprint assessments (or greenhouse gas inventories), the V&AA is a critical first step in developing the local climate change profile, which would guide the development of a local climate change response.

| Making Carbon Markets Work for Your City: A Guide for Cities in Developing Countries |
|
There are a number of key areas of local government competencies that city officials may want to target when implementing carbon trading projects; including town and urban planning, infrastructure development, service provision, waste management, energy provisioning and transportation. It is the objective of this tool to provide environmental, planning and development officials at the local government level with clear guidance on how to develop Clean Development Mechanism and Verified Emission Reduction projects.

| Planning for Climate Change , A STRATEGIC, VALUES-BASED APPROACH FOR URBAN PLANNERS |
|
The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT) developed this guide for city planners and other allied professionals to better understand, assess, and take action on climate change at the local level. While climate change is a global issue, this guide is specifically intended for urban communities in low and middle income countries where the challenges are unique and the human stakes of planning for climate change are particularly high.

| Developing local climate change plans |
|
This tool provides local policy-makers and major stakeholders with a methodology to plan for climate change. These plans must address both mitigation (e.g., reducing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere) and adaptation (responding to the impacts of climate change) [see Glossary]. If they are to be effective, local plans for climate change (both adaptation and mitigation) require the involvement of a variety of stakeholders and a specific focus on the most vulnerable groups.
