Towards Gender-Transformative Action on Super Pollutants
Overview
The guidance document, Towards Gender-Transformative Action on Super Pollutants, produced in partnership with Oxfam America, identifies gender-differentiated impacts of super pollutants by sector – from gender-related exposure, vulnerability, resources, and decision-making capacity. It shows how women and marginalized groups are disproportionately affected by these pollutants, facing greater health risks, care burdens, and exclusion from decision-making, while also playing vital roles in frontline solutions.
Moving from how the six sectors tend to be organized today, the guidance provides policy-relevant analysis on reshaping sectors based on deeper analysis of gendered considerations and greater participation of women, in particular from low-income and marginalized groups.
Taken together, these point to recommendations which policymakers and civil society can apply towards promoting gender-sensitive and gender-transformative change, alongside sector specific recommendations to be integrated into super pollutant reduction projects on the ground.
