Experts Call for Gender‑Centric Climate Policy Design

Panelists at the CRF launch urged that gender should not be treated as a peripheral add‑on but as a central pillar of climate policy. They stressed that early‑stage planning must weave in women's access to land, finance, technology, data and social security. Strengthening these links, they said, will improve both adaptive capacity and the fairness of climate transitions. The discussion also pointed to the lack of gender‑disaggregated data as a major obstacle. Better data collection will enable more precise assessments of economic and social impacts, allowing governments to craft targeted interventions that protect vulnerable groups while advancing climate goals.
