This podcast episode explores the potential negative impact of climate action on gender equality. It highlights how current climate action could set gender equality back by 15 years, as women are more likely to miss out on the job opportunities and investments of the green economy. However, the episode also emphasizes that with intentional efforts, climate action can actually advance both the climate agenda and gender equality. It discusses the importance of embedding a gender lens in all aspects of climate action, such as green economies, investments, projects, and legislations. Examples are provided, including the need for gender-equitable urban planning programs and the transformative power of including women's perspectives in decision-making contexts.
