Gender and Waste Nexus: Experiences from Bhutan, Mongolia and Nepal

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) released the report Gender and waste nexus: Experiences from Bhutan, Mongolia and Nepal, co-authored by GRID-Arendal, at the 8th ISWA World Congress in Bilbao, Spain. The Gender and waste nexus report provides a detailed analysis of the gendered nature of the waste sector in these countries.

The report is one of the products of the Waste and Climate Change project funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) and implemented by IETC in partnership with local organizations in Mongolia, Bhutan and Nepal. The report examines the relationship between gender and waste based on fieldwork in the capital cities of the three countries (Ulaanbaatar, Thimphu and Kathmandu), guidance from local partners and a synthesis of the literature available.
