**Background**:
UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.

**Project Background**:
Over the last decade, increasing natural hazards, climate-related emergencies, mounting insecurity and crises in Asia and the Pacific are eroding development gains, posing significant challenges in the transition to low-carbon, resilient societies. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the world was off-track to meet the transformational environmental, social, and economic changes required to achieve gender equality, address climate change, and realize human rights for all. The pandemic set back sustainable development progress while further increasing inequalities. Women and girls, especially those facing multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination, have faced disproportionate fallout.

Environmental degradation and climate and disaster impacts are unequally felt across the region. For women, people living in poverty and other marginalized groups, pre-existing discriminatory social norms and pervasive gender inequalities increase exposure to risks while undercutting the ability to cope and recover from shocks. Women’s livelihoods are often the first to decline due to climate-related hazards and disasters. Further, inequalities in access to resources, finance and technologies leave women with greater challenges in coping and rebuilding after a crisis.

The low-carbon transition and social transformation required to solve the climate crisis pose significant opportunities to redress gender inequalities and promote human rights. By placing women and other marginalized groups at the centre, this transition can advance gender justice and occur more quickly with empowered women and marginalized groups acting as change agents.

UN Women is working with partners in the region to strengthen the integration of gender equality and human rights into climate and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) policies and initiatives, supporting the meaningful participation of women in decision-making processes and raising awareness of the significance of addressing the gender dimensions of climate change through its advocacy, research, and capacity-building programs. To support this work, UN Women’s team aims to recruit an able intern to support the activities of the Resilience Team.

**Description of Responsibilities**

**Objectives**:
The overall objective of this assignment is to conduct web-based desk research, information collection, review and analysis of national, regional, global policy documents governing the work in the areas of climate change, DRR and gender equality; provide technical support to the project team working in the regional office and country offices; and assist in organization of the meetings and events of the unit, including preparation of meeting agendas, notes and outcome documents.

**Support to Project Implementation**:
The intern shall closely work with the Regional Project team to contribute to:

- Assistance in preparation and launch of the knowledge products relating to gender and climate change.
- Desk based review of relevant online training materials and e-learning courses for adult education and distance learning and contribution to the content development for trainings.
- Organizing the peer review process to increase quality of technical reports on assessment of gender equality and climate change interlinkages.
- Supporting the organization of a knowledge-sharing workshops on climate change and disaster risk reduction
- Preparation of concept notes for resource mobilization and fund raising for implementation of activities relating to gender and climate action.
