Women experience climate change in different ways to men and are often disproportionately affected, highlighting the need for gender-focused climate initiatives. Strengthening laws and policies to address women's and gender issues is one way forward. Yet, less research attention has been given to women and gender in climate change law than in other issues. This article seeks to advance the field by exploring the relevant law, policy and governance commitments made by all African nations under the Paris Agreement. The findings indicate that most African nations include some gender-related commitments, but only a few include detailed legal initiatives ready for implementation. These more detailed initiatives are synthesized to identify a toolbox of options, which are then applied to Tanzania as a case study. This article contributes to the literature by comprehensively analysing the African climate change commitments and by making tangible recommendations for Tanzania.

女性以与男性不同的方式经历气候变化，并且往往受到不成比例的影响，这凸显了以性别为中心的气候举措的必要性。加强解决妇女和性别问题的法律和政策是前进的道路之一。然而，与其他问题相比，气候变化法中对妇女和性别问题的研究关注较少。本文旨在通过探讨所有非洲国家根据《巴黎协定》做出的相关法律、政策和治理承诺来推动该领域的发展。调查结果表明，大多数非洲国家都做出了一些与性别相关的承诺，但只有少数国家制定了可供实施的详细法律举措。这些更详细的举措被综合起来以确定一个选项工具箱，然后将其应用于坦桑尼亚作为案例研究。本文通过全面分析非洲气候变化承诺并为坦桑尼亚提出切实建议，为文献做出了贡献。
