Join us for an event hosted by ESMAP and ENERGIA during the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development in New York, where we will mark the official launch of the Policy Brief “Gender Indicators for Sustainable Energy: A Call to Action.”
This pivotal Policy Brief has been developed by the UNDESA-led multi-stakeholder SDG 7 Technical Advisory Group (TAG) in collaboration with the SDG 7 custodian agencies (ESMAP/World Bank, IEA, IRENA, UNSD, WHO), the co-conveners of the Gender and Energy Compact (ENERGIA, GWNET, SEforALL, UNIDO), and UN Women.
As part of the SDG 7 TAG HLPF Policy Briefs Compilation Report, this Policy Brief highlights the critical interlinkages between SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and offers a strategic framework for embedding gender indicators into energy sector planning and implementation.
We invite you to engage in a high-level dialogue on the importance of gender-responsive energy policies, the design of inclusive and targeted interventions, the establishment of measurable outcomes, and the monitoring of progress toward gender equality in the energy sector.
