    Gender and Climate Change Analysis

    GenderCCYou want to learn how to find out if and how women, men and the gender relations are impacted by a particular policy measure or implementation project? Then you are in the right course.

    Generally, it is important to go beyond stating the disdvantages of women. Instead, we need to address gendered power relations and the possibilities in changing gendered roles and responsibilities.
    • Gender Analysis Tools Page

      Gender analysis tools are used to determine potentially differentiated impacts of policy measures on women and men. Gender roles give rise to inequalities that are also impacted by other factors such as age, class, religion, ethnic group, education and others.

    • Gender analysis step by step

      1. Screening: aims at finding out, 1. which measures, programmes etc. are most gender relevant and should be subject to an in-depth gender analysis , and 2. if and how gender is already addressed in these measures, programmes etc.

      2. Data collection / research: provides evidence to gender differences in fields relevant to the measures and programmes, e.g. gendered impacts of, and contributions to, climate change and gives an idea about research gaps and research needed.

      3. Gender impact assessment: the ‘heart’ of each gender analysis. Can be undertaken ex-post or (preferably) ex-ante. There are various suggestions methods for gender impact assessments, most of them are guided by questions. These questions vary according to the level of the initiative, measure or programme and the depth of the analysis.

      4. Fillings the gaps between gender responsive climate policies and measures, and climate policy from a gender perspective. A gender perspective helps to identify measures and programmes preferred and needed by those, who were not involved in the design of current climate policy.
