Case Summary

As the transition to a low-carbon economy requires deep transformations across all sectors and parts of society, it can only succeed with the support and active cooperation of all stakeholders. Building trust among stakeholders and the public requires transparency and accountability, which in turn requires effective processes for data collection and analysis. The collection of gender-disaggregated data is necessary to facilitate informed policymaking and to ensure that climate action is designed with both men and women in mind and contributes to reducing, rather than exacerbating, gender inequalities.

This working paper illustrates what can be achieved through gender mainstreaming by presenting good practice case studies, and is divided into three parts:

  • Part 1: Provides a rationale for gender mainstreaming into climate change data collection, analysis and reporting processes under the Paris Agreement’s Enhanced Transparency Framework ETF.
  • Part 2: Offers general principles for gender-disaggregated and gender-responsive data collection.
  • Part 3: Investigates and provides advice on gender mainstreaming under the chapters of the Biennial Transparency Report.

The working paper is targeted at policymakers, practitioners and technical experts, including gender experts, involved in climate policy design, implementation and data collection. It may also be of interest to non-governmental and community organizations focused on gender and women’s empowerment and the broader research community. It aims to provide its audiences with motivation, inspiration and some key tools to integrate gender considerations into their activities.
