Gender Mainstreaming for Climate and Clean Air Action Share SHARE Facebook share Twitter LinkedIn Copy URL Email Breadcrumb Home Gender Mainstreaming For Climate and Clean Air Action The impacts of climate change and air pollution can affect women and men differently. Increasingly, women are shown to be more vulnerable than men to the impacts of climate change and air pollution, representing the majority of the world's poor and being proportionally more dependent on threatened natural resources. In many regions, women also bear a disproportionate responsibility for securing food, water, and fuel due to gendered roles, responsibilities, opportunities, and needs. Climate change and air pollution mitigation measures are more sustainable, equitable and likely to achieve better results if gender considerations are included throughout planning and implementation stages. Environmental policy decision-making will benefit significantly if gender-diverse perspectives, insights, and experience are included in the development of solutions. CCAC Gender Strategy The Climate and Clean Air Coalition's (CCAC) Gender Strategy sets out key actions to include gender perspectives in all aspects of the CCAC’s work to promote gender equality and the empowerment of women. Key areas of work in which we will drive the CCAC's gender strategy include: Requiring a gender analysis in projects proposed for funding Striving for gender balance in CCAC hosted meetings and events Sharing the experiences of CCAC partners that have made significant progress on gender mainstreaming Promoting gender-related mandates and the relevance of gender within the partnership Collecting gender-disaggregated data through our progress reporting More ResourcesBelow are resources that illustrate diverse approaches to including a gender perspective in climate change, air quality and development projects and policies.Find out how women and girls are disproportionally affected by air pollution and climate changeRead about women entrepreneurs turning waste into useful product Science resources Previous Next Guidelines & Tools 2016 Definition and Minimum Recommended Criteria for the DAC Gender Equality Policy Marker Policies, Plans & Regulations 2015 Gender Equality and the Environment.
