This agreement will also have implication for the nature, pace and extent of sustainable development in developing countries. Climate financing is a critical lever for the transformation to low carbon pathways and for undertaking mitigation actions to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gases emissions which have been identified by science as the key culprit behind global warming. At the same time, financing climate change mitigation and adaptation actions in developing countries, if not carefully managed, can compete for the scarce overseas development assistance (ODA) funds as well as for domestically mobilized funds in developing countries that are important for achieving poverty eradication, social development and gender justice. Climate finance must be managed both at the global level and regional and national level to ensure and promote gender equality and the empowerment of women as key actors both in climate protection and sustainable development efforts. Gender-responsive budgeting exercises and analyses will need to take on board the impacts of climate change as well as its financing for sustained gender justice.
