The GGKP Gender Expert Group provides research, capacity building and knowledge sharing to aid evidence-based policy development processes, specifically on integrating gender equality and women’s empowerment in green growth and green economy approaches.
Among the major foundations of the GEG is ensuring that gender transformation continues to be a focus area in green growth and green economy discourses. A series of research activities were conducted during Phase 1 of the GEG to identify and respond to critical knowledge and data gaps, and in this context, three working papers were prepared to:
- provide a better understanding of gender equality impacts of green growth and just transitions across sectors dominated by informal value chains and markets;
- unpack the scope for financing gender equality in just transitions; and
- identify entry points for powering gender equality across the just energy transition value chain.
This document provides a brief overview of the second working paper Powering a Gender-Just Energy Transition - which will be released in 2023. The working paper will serve as a test case linking just transition and green finance to make a business case for using the just energy transition as a pathway to achieving gender-equality.
