PRÉSENTATION DES DISPARITÉS HOMMES-FEMMES DANS LE FINANCEMENT DE L’ATTÉNUATION DU CHANGEMENT CLIMATIQUE. -SOLUTIONS À ENVISAGER.

This report examines the gender gaps in climate change mitigation financing and proposes solutions to integrate gender equality into such projects. It argues that mitigation efforts have historically been 'gender-neutral,' often ignoring the disproportionate impact of climate change on women and their potential as leaders in solutions. Through case studies in Nepal, Mali, and Colombia, the document demonstrates how gender-sensitive planning improves project efficiency, sustainability, and social equity.

• Climate change mitigation projects have historically prioritized technical and scientific measures, leading to a 'gender-neutral' approach that often ignores the specific needs and leadership roles of women.
• Integrating gender equality policies from the start of a project is essential for success, as it maximizes greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions and ensures long-term viability through community support.
• There is a critical lack of sex-disaggregated data regarding public participation and the socio-economic benefits of mitigation projects, which hinders the ability to evaluate and improve gender integration.
• The Biogas Support Program (BSP) in Nepal demonstrated that gender-sensitive interventions can increase women's ownership and leadership; by 2011, women owned 23% of biogas systems and led 30% of the financing cooperatives.
• In Mali, the Household Energy and Universal Rural Access (HEURA) project showed that while women are primary users of biomass, they use electricity for income generation less than men, highlighting a need for targeted support for women-led businesses.
• The TransMilenio Bus Rapid Transit system in Bogotá, Colombia, reduced CO2 emissions by over 1.6 million tonnes between 2001 and 2008, but faced challenges with sexual harassment and safety for women, necessitating targeted security campaigns.
• The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has evolved to allow 'programs of activities' (PoA), which reduce transaction costs for small-scale projects (like household biogas or solar), making them more accessible to women and local communities.
• International climate funds, including the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the Climate Investment Funds (CIF), have begun implementing specific gender requirements, recognizing gender as a 'transformational change factor' for programming effectiveness.
