Climate change is one of the greatest environmental and development challenges facing the world today, and it has critical impacts on human rights and inequalities, including gender equality.
To overcome these challenges, in 2019 the EU launched the European Green Deal (EGD) strategy, which sets out targets of no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050 and economic growth decoupled from resource use, and states that no person and no place should be left behind.
This report presents 12 good practices on how to mainstream gender in the EGD policy areas to simultaneously promote a more gender-equal and greener world.
The term ‘good practice’ refers to a project, programme or initiative that is successful in addressing equal representation of women and men, demonstrates gender-responsive content, is transferable to other countries and contexts and is inspirational in displaying solutions to addressing gender equality challenges.
