Why focus on gender2
and climate change?
Climate change is increasingly being recognised as a global crisis, but responses to it have so far
been overly focused on scientific and economic solutions, rather than on the significant human and
gender dimensions. This report highlights the need to put people at the centre of climate change
responses, paying particular attention to the challenges and opportunities that climate change
presents in the struggle for gender equality.
It advocates for an approach in which women and men have an equal voice in decision-making on
climate change and broader governance processes and are given equal access to the resources
necessary to respond to the negative effects of climate change; where both women‟s and men‟s
needs and knowledge are taken into account and climate change policymaking institutions and
processes at all levels are not biased towards men or women; and where the broad social constraints
that limit women‟s access to strategic and practical3
resources no longer exist.
The report shows that there is much to learn from innovative, gender-aware approaches to climate
change that are already happening at the local level, led by non-governmental organisations,
communities and individuals, which are leading to transformations in gender and social inequalities in
some cases. National, regional and international initiatives are also playing a key role in promoting the
need to integrate gender dimensions into all climate change policy and practice. |
