‘Gender lens’: the approach that low-carbon businesses cannot do without

The document advocates for the integration of a 'gender lens'—defined as business structures and policies that reduce barriers for women and enable their leadership and employment—within low-carbon SMEs. Based on findings from the Gender Equality in a Low Carbon World (GLOW) programme, it asserts that such approaches are successful strategies for business viability, particularly in agriculture and aquaculture value chains.

• The 'gender lens' approach is essential for climate-smart businesses to achieve their maximum potential for economic sustainability and positive climate impact. This approach involves implementing business structures, policies, and measures that identify and reduce barriers for women, support women as leaders and entrepreneurs, ensure decent work for female employees, and make the benefits of private sector entities accessible to women.
