The Evidence Base for Gender and Inclusion in Sustainable Energy

This working paper reviews existing data and evidence on the case for gender-responsive and socially inclusive approaches to sustainable energy. It identifies data and evidence that can inform approaches to delivering Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7) and the work of the SEforALL People-Centered Accelerator (PCA), as well as gaps in the evidence base. The analysis shows a general lack of gender-disaggregated data to fully inform the work of the PCA or the delivery of SDG7 and, in response, proposes possible indicators or benchmarks.
