The report argues that climate mitigation projects often ignore gender, treating technical solutions as 'gender neutral,' which can reinforce inequalities. By examining projects in Nepal, Mali, and Colombia, it demonstrates that integrating gender perspectives—through sex-disaggregated data, targeted training, and safety measures—increases the effectiveness and long-term viability of mitigation efforts. It highlights the role of international mechanisms like the UNFCCC, GEF, and CDM in promoting gender-responsive climate finance.

• Climate change mitigation projects have historically prioritized scientific and technical measures, often viewing large-scale energy infrastructure and industrial efficiency as "neutres du point de vue du genre" (gender neutral), which ignores differentiated socio-economic impacts.
• Integrating gender equality policies from the start of a project is essential for success, as results are more effective when gender issues are incorporated from the outset.
• The systematic collection of sex-disaggregated data, targets, and indicators is necessary to analyze and demonstrate the actual impacts of gender equality on climate mitigation.
• In Nepal's Biogas Support Program, gender integration led to measurable increases in women's ownership and leadership: by 2011, women owned 23% of biogas systems and led 30% of the financing cooperatives.
• Mali's HEURA project demonstrated that gender assessments can influence national policy; the project's gender integration contributed to Mali adopting a national gender policy and gender-sensitive budgets.
• The TransMilenio project in Bogotá showed that while mass transit reduces emissions, women face specific safety risks such as sexual harassment, requiring targeted responses like 'Safe Cities' campaigns and demand-responsive stops.
• The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has historically favored large-scale projects, but the 'programme of activities' (PoA) approach allows smaller, household-level projects (like biogas or solar) to aggregate, increasing access for women.
• International climate funds are increasingly mandating gender considerations; the Green Climate Fund's governing instrument encourages a "approche sensible à la spécificité des sexes" (gender-specific approach) from the start of projects.
