The case studies highlight key enablers, successes, and challenges of rights-based and gender transformative climate action
Enablers include, for example, national climate change frameworks recognising human rights and gender equality as core principles, including through mandating roles of women in decision-making. An example of success is increased access to clean energy contributing to improving women’s health, security, and access to information, decreasing their time poverty, and creating new opportunities for income-generating activities. Among the main challenges is the lack of an intersectional lens which results in overlooking the needs and rights of marginalised groups, such as landless women, women from ethnic minorities, or girls with disabilities.
