Why climate action needs a gender-conscious lens to succeed
In short: Climate policy is often treated as gender-neutral, but this oversight can reinforce existing biases. Zineb Sqalli explores how intentional urban planning can drive both environmental and social progress.
Gender and climate researcher Zinebl Sqalli argues that a lack of intentionality in climate action allows underlying biases to negatively affect women. To address this, she presents Vienna, Austria's gender-equal urban planning program as a blueprint for integrating women into every stage of the green economy's development, demonstrating that sustainability and gender equality can be advanced simultaneously.
