Abstract

Globally, between USD 850 to USD 940 billion was allocated for 2021 climate finance. However, a mere 0.01 percent of this was directed towards projects addressing both climate change and women’s rights. Unfortunately, the climate crisis is not gender-neutral. Yet, gender data analysis and the significant role of women in climate action are often overlooked, resulting in critical issues being underrepresented in climate budgets. In today’s data-driven world, gender data assumes a critical role in highlighting women’s significant contributions to climate change, thereby influencing funding decisions. Within this context, the Room 9 sub-group of the “17 Rooms initiative” is currently exploring the potential of data cooperatives to facilitate financing for women’s groups transitioning towards climate-resilient practices. This paper explores the intersection of gender data and climate resilience funding and advocates for improved governance models that ensure accurate, comprehensive, and meaningful representation of gender data in climate funding decision-making processes.
