Step 1: Analysing the environmental impacts through a gender lens
Once the main categories of environmental effects of your intervention have been identified, you can analyse each of them with the help of the following checklists, which are grouped according to European Green Deal policy objective 2 (‘A greener, low carbon Europe by promoting clean and fair energy transition, green and blue investment, the circular economy, climate adaptation and risk prevention and management’[1]) and its corresponding specific objectives (i to viii).
The checklists include, in the first column, questions proposed in tool #36 from the Better regulation toolbox. The second column presents arguments and facts on how gender and other social and intersectional inequalities can represent key areas for analysis, followed by guiding questions that will help you assess them in your intervention.
Specific objective v. Promoting access to water and sustainable water management
Specific objective iv. Promoting climate change adaptation, risk prevention and disaster resilience
Specific objectives i. Promoting energy efficiency measures and ii. Promoting renewable energies
Specific objective vi. Promoting the transition to a circular economy and resource efficient economy
