Environmental change has differentiated impacts on different genders, and there is increasing evidence that women and girls disproportionately suffer from climate change and environmental disasters. But a massive shortage of gender-disaggregated data at the gender-environment nexus hinders action and policy to advance both climate action and gender equality. To surface these challenges as well as existing solutions, the newly formed Gender and Environment Data Alliance (GEDA) will host a high-level launch event to discuss how investment and resourcing of gender and environment data is a crucial contributor to gender-responsive climate policy.
