The Gender Equality and Climate Change Sectors Guide aims to explain why integrating gender equality across sectors is critical for a low-carbon and climate-resilient transition. The Sectors Guide was developed by the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Gender Equality Division in the Climate Change and Sustainable Development Department in collaboration with the Climate Change, Resilience and Environment Cluster, CCSD. It is intended for use by staff from the ADB’s operations departments of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and consists of the following chapters:
Chapter 1: Gender Equality and Climate Change in the Agriculture Sector
Chapter 2: Gender Equality and Climate Change in the Energy Sector
Chapter 3: Gender Equality and Climate Change in the Transport Sector
Each chapter starts with why integrating gender equality into that sector is critical for a low-carbon and climate-resilient transition. The key gender issues in the sector are then presented, i.e., women’s employment opportunities, participation, and leadership in decision-making in the sector. Entry points are provided to address these issues in ADB operations, and recommendations are made on how to integrate gender equality into the sector for a low-carbon and climate-resilient transition.
