Environmental factors can affect men and women differently due to distinct behaviors, societal roles, and physiological differences. This variation appears across sectors such as energy, water, transport, urban design, agriculture, and consumption patterns, making a gender perspective crucial to understanding environmental impacts fully.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) assists countries in integrating gender and inclusiveness into policy formulation and execution. This aims to achieve better environmental, economic, and social outcomes and improve overall societal well-being.
Adopting a gender-inclusive perspective in environmental policy also supports global development goals by addressing diverse needs and impacts effectively.
