How gender-neutral climate policies can unintentionally leave women behind
In short: Climate action often overlooks gender, allowing biases to shape a green economy that excludes women. This video explores how intentional urban planning can bridge the gap between sustainability and gender equality.
Researcher Zineb Sqalli argues that treating climate action as gender-neutral allows underlying biases to persist. By failing to be intentional, green transitions risk reinforcing existing inequalities.
Using Vienna, Austria, as a model, Sqalli demonstrates how gender-equal urban planning can integrate women into every stage of building a sustainable economy, advancing both climate and social goals simultaneously.
