The International Economic Association, the United Nations Development Programme, and the World Bank Group are co-organizing a conference on “Understanding the Gender and Climate Change Nexus” to be held virtually on November 15, 16, and 17, 2022. The conference provides an opportunity for researchers to present the results of their research at the intersection of gender and climate change. This event also aims to serve as a platform for evidence-based policy dialogue on strategies that might help alleviate the impacts of climate change while being gender-sensitive.
The Conference
We encourage the submission of papers that examine:
- Differentiated impacts of climate change on men, women, girls, and boys, including labor, health, education, time use, care, fertility, and income generation and distribution, among others.
- Differentiated impacts of climate actions on men, women, girls, and boys.
- The role of women in climate action.
Papers on the second and third topics may explore the areas of study below, including (but not limited to):
- Access to and management of resources
- Agriculture, food security, water, and land
- Cities and urban areas
