I am honored to announce that I have successfully obtained a certificate in Gender Equality and Human Rights in the context of Climate Change ! This achievement is not just a personal milestone but a testament to my commitment to addressing some of the most pressing challenges of our time. Climate change is a global crisis that affects all of us, but it does not affect us equally. It exacerbates existing inequalities, disproportionately impacting women, marginalized communities, and vulnerable populations. Through this certification, I have gained a deeper understanding of the intricate connections between gender equality, human rights, and climate change. I have learned about the critical role that gender-sensitive approaches play in developing effective and sustainable climate solutions. Empowering women and protecting human rights are not just ethical imperatives but essential components in the fight against climate change. This knowledge equips me to contribute more effectively to initiatives and policies that ensure a just and inclusive transition to a sustainable future.

💡 The energy transition offers a chance to tackle gender inequalities head-on. Our primer explores the vital role of gender-transformative policies in making this transition just and inclusive for all. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/emSDjQwq

Today I had an insightful chat with Dr. Edivando Vitor do Couto about the vital role of indicators in achieving the SDGs as well as the carbon principles. 🛤🛤 🛤 🧠My take away is; 🧠 With indicators, we can evaluate and verify our compliance with the 2030 Agenda in a quantitative manner. 🔢🔢🔢 When focusing on Goal 5: Gender Equality. Breaking down gender data is essential for tracking the results of gender equality just like what he has been doing with farmers in the South of Italy. This way reaffirmation to the commitment of gender equality and women's empowerment is achieved. 👭👭👭 Goal 1: No Poverty. Careful monitoring of income levels among participating farmers (for the ongoing project) and evaluating economic consequences by using indicators like surveys, interviews and income assessments. 👩🌾👩🌾👩🌾 Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy. The addition of indicators like regular energy audits and emission reporting shows commitment to offering economical and clean energy solutions. 💣💣💣 Due to language barrier, he suggested having leaders at the grass root level who can communicate effectively with the participants in order to get reliable feedback and possibly conduct focused group discussions in the future i.e.; stakeholder engagement at the highest level. 👩🏫👩🏫👩🏫 In addition to achieving the SDGs, the metrics used to measure these targets align with the fundamental carbon principles established by the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market. It strengthens commitment to a sustainable future by ensuring the legitimacy and transparency of sustainable projects in various capacities. Thank you Dr. Edivando Vitor do Couto #2030SDGs #greenfuture

🚀 The energy sector is powering up for change! 🚀 🌍 Gender equality is increasingly integrated in official development assistance for the energy sector, especially in the areas of energy generation from renewable sources, energy policy, and energy distribution. 💫The stronger focus on gender equality in new programmes related to clean energy reflects a recognition by OECD DAC members of the importance of a just energy transition - one that ensures clean energy benefits everyone. 📊 At the same time, aid for the energy sector more broadly remains one of the sectors with the lowest inclusion of gender equality objectives, at 30%. 📌 There is an urgent need to step up efforts to empower women, whose voices and expertise are essential for shaping a sustainable energy future. 💡 DAC members should continue this positive path and accelerate their efforts to support women’s empowerment in this sector.

⚡️ Energy that is affordable, accessible and sufficient is critical to individuals surviving and thriving. Unaffordable and unclean energy can have adverse consequences for individuals (including on their health) and communities (including climate change and pollution). And the implications of energy deprivation are gendered. 🌍 Most obviously, in most parts of the world, women and girls spend most time cooking in households, and so are most affected by fumes from cooking with unclean fuel. They have most to gain from improved access to clean affordable energy to the home, in terms of health and time use. 👍 So, it is very good to see that gender equality is increasingly integrated in Official Development Assistance for the energy sector, especially in energy generation from renewable sources, energy policy, and energy distribution.   However, this increase is coming from a low base. As the new Development Finance for Gender Equality 2024 report (https://oe.cd/5PJ) shows, the energy sector overall is still among the worst performers in terms of inclusion of gender equality objectives. The figures below show that only 30% of Official Development Assistance going to energy includes a gender equality objective, compared to the average for ODA as a whole of 42%. There is an urgent need to do better in taking account of different work, roles, responsibilities, barriers and opportunities in determining priorities and implementing energy investments. And ensure that the perspectives and priorities of women help determine priorities and approaches. This needs governments to have and use systems and processes that require all actors to understand contexts and lived realities and engage with those that will be affected by investments – from an effectiveness, efficiency and rights perspective. #DevelopmentFinanceForGenderEquality #GenderEquality #OECDDevelopment #ODA #GENDERNET #FFD4 #DevelopmentFinance #TimeUse #Energy Jenny Hedman Lisa Eveline Williams Cibele Cesca Sasha Milanova Astrid Lucia Offersen OECD Development Equality Insights Energia

Promoting gender equality is crucial in climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. The complex challenges posed by climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss call for a holistic and cross-sectoral approach that acknowledges the intricate interplay between gender and climate action and disaster management.  While the green transition offers new job opportunities, it is important to address existing structural imbalances in the workplace and leadership roles to ensure benefits are distributed equally.  How can governments simultaneously drive action for gender equality and transformative climate action? 1️⃣ Mainstream gender equality into policies and strategies integral to the net-zero transition.  2️⃣ Promote the attractiveness and inclusiveness of the economic opportunities offered by the green transition.   3️⃣ Advance gender equality in leadership and decision-making to ensure inclusive outcomes amid the green transition.   4️⃣ Amplifying women’s voices on environmental-related issues through environmental justice.  5️⃣ Promote policies to ensure gender-inclusive sustainable consumption – especially with respect to participation in sustainable modes of transportation.     Thanks so much to our speakers for joining us today for our two sessions at the inaugural OECD - OCDE Forum on Gender Equality focused on the net-zero and energy transitions. We were joined in Session 1 by Jo Tyndall, Francia Elena Marquez Mina, Maria-Alexandra Kefala, Princess Nous bint Muhammad bin Abdullah AlSaud, Elise Buckle, Dr. Hans-Jörn Weddige and Chiara Corazza. On the topic of mainstreaming gender equality in environmental policy, we enjoyed a lively discussion on the barriers to gender equality in certain communities, including development issues that need to be addressed first, to ensure gender equality in net-zero transitions.  We also explored avenues for women to access economic opportunities and leadership roles in advancing green economic activities for climate mitigation and adaptation, and ecosystems protection. In session 2 we heard key insights from Brian Motherway, Michal Mlynár, Fiona Rayment OBE FREng, Chris Henderson, Alison Tate and Silvana Koch-Mehrin on the key challenges for gender equality in the context of the energy sector’s transformation.
