Taking stock: Sexual and reproductive and health and rights in climate commitments: A global review

UNFPA, in collaboration with Queen Mary University of London, conducted a systematic content analysis of sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR) references and related thematic areas in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) documents for 119 countries. Accompanying this will be regional reports for five regions: Arab States, Asia Pacific, East and Southern Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean and West and Central Africa. This report reflects on how 119 NDCs incorporated SRHR issues, and seeks to inform the next cycle of NDCs to be submitted in 2025.

This global report examines the integration of sexual reproductive health and rights and related themes - including health, gender, population dynamics, youth, human rights, vulnerable groups and participation - in the NDCs of countries from 2020. It offers recommendations on how the next submissions can more effectively  address these intersections in terms of impact, commitments, budget and other critical actions.
