The effects of the climate crisis are escalating faster than predicted, with severe consequences for health, economic security, and access to resources. Alarmingly, these effects are not felt equally, with women bearing a disproportionate burden.
Gender data holds the power to drive equitable climate policies that can mitigate disparities and enhance lives worldwide. However, many challenges remain, including:
- How do we responsibly and equitably collect gender data?
- How can we analyze the data to identify and act on gender inequalities linked to climate
change? - How can we use data storytelling to raise awareness and propel impact?
- How do we empower and equip women to lead data-driven climate solutions?
data.org is celebrating this year’s International Women’s Day and the United Nations theme, Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress, by bringing together gender data experts for a timely discussion on closing gender data gaps and advancing the use of data for and by women. Guided by data.org’s new Gender x Climate Data playbook, this session will provide actionable information, resources, best practices, and impact stories to illustrate what’s possible.
