Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN)

This report for the GLOW programme reviews the evidence on women's economic empowerment in low-carbon transitions. It identifies the gaps in the evidence base; and recommends how GLOW and other research initiatives and funders may further enrich the evidence, and inform policy and practice.

This is the recording of a GLOW webinar in two parts, on the topic of 'National leadership and feminist networks: two entry points for promoting gender equality in low-carbon, climate-resilient development. Insights from the African continent and Brazil.'

This policy brief reviews how well women’s economic empowerment and low-carbon transitions are integrated in theory and in practice. It provides key recommendations for governments, international financial institutions and research funders.
