Belem Gender Action Plan (2026 – 2034) is a nine-year action framework that is more practical and operational. It includes clear deliverables and specific outputs. This GAP puts strong emphasis on gender-responsive budgeting and gender-responsive climate finance, as well as intersectional analysis that uses sex-disaggregated and evidence-based data. The plan also provides stronger recognition of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs), rural women and community-based organizations. In this GAP, gender responsive climate finance is strongly encouraged, especially the integration of GAP principles into financing practises and funding requirements. The GAP also clarifies the responsibilities for progress reporting and evaluation, including a planned review around 2029. The UNFCCC secretariat is asked to prepare a reporting template to guide the countries and the agencies. The GAP is expected to serve as a practical blueprint for countries and agencies, offering more detailed steps than the previous gender action plan.

RAN GPI (Rencana Aksi Nasional Gender dalam Perubahan Iklim) is Indonesia’s national Gender Action Plan, developed in response to the decision from COP 25 in Madrid (2019) under the enhanced Lima Work Programme on Gender and its Gender Action Plan. Indonesia now needs to align the existing RAN GPI with the Belem GAP by strengthening national gender-responsive budgeting and improving the coordination and mandate of gender and climate focal points. Gap analysis that supports national climate policy, such as the NDC, RAN API (Rencana Aksi Nasional Adaptasi Perubahan Iklim), Climate Budget Tagging, should include clearer sector recommendations, and these national documents need to incorporate gender indicators and gender-responsive budget elements.

Development partners and civil society organizations can support this process through technical assistance, such as preparing integrated funding proposals, doing sectoral analysis, and helping build partnerships for coordination between gender and climate focal points, as well as assisting in the implementation of priority programs. With these improvements, the RAN GPI is expected not only to be a policy statement but to function as a practical and operational national blueprint for gender and climate action.
