The Gender-Energy Nexus: Evidence and gaps in Colombias coal transition

The report identifies critical policy and research gaps in Colombia's coal transition, specifically in the Cesar region. It argues for the inclusion of informal and feminised economies in support systems, the integration of intersectional analysis into mine closure regulations, and the development of research frameworks to understand the impacts of energy transitions on LGBTIQ+ individuals and non-binary gender identities.

• The report outlines several policy priorities to ensure a just transition from coal, including the need to provide focused support to feminised and informal economies, the integration of intersectional analysis into mine closure regulations, the enhancement of protections for human rights defenders, and the implementation of a Public Policy for Women.
• Research priorities for the coal transition include creating frameworks to analyze the effects of energy transitions on LGBTIQ+ populations, moving beyond binary gender frameworks when operationalising intersectionality, and collecting longitudinal data on the impacts following mine closures.
