Gender, Equality and Inclusion for a Just Transition in Climate Action
Incorporating gender-responsive measures into climate actions is essential for a just transition.
This policy guide by the International Labour Organization (ILO) offers connections between a just transition and gender equality and inclusion and is based on the ILO Just Transition Guidelines (ILO 2015) and the ILO Resolution concerning a just transition towards environmentally sustainable economies and societies for all.
The guide examines nine policy areas defined in the ILO Just Transition Guidelines regarding gender equality and inclusion, presenting practical entry points for actions in a gender-responsive just transition. It also discusses the obstacles to promoting a gender-responsive approach in selected economic sectors that are integral to the process of just transition.
The policy guide further focuses on the institutional and financial approaches to incorporating gender and just transition commitments into policy-making and implementation and to ensuring investment in such a transition from both the public and private sectors.
