Gender Action Link: Gender, International Finance and
Climate Change!
Gender Action presents
its first “Gender Action Link” connecting gender, international
finance and climate change issues. This brief, reader-friendly resource
is the first in a new series of Gender Action Links to come, including Links on
gender, international finance and critical issues like extractive industries,
indigenous rights, accountability, commercial banks, debt, the food crisis and
more. The timely series aims to link international
finance-watcher and gender justice communities through key thematic
briefings, concrete case examples, useful action resources and partnership
opportunities. Gender Action Links will link up gender justice groups and
international finance-watchers so we can multiply our impact!
This inaugural Gender
Action Link introduces the gender impacts of International Financial
Institution (IFI) and commercial bank investments in sectors heavily impacted
by climate change: agriculture, health, reproduction, post-conflict and
post-disaster reconstruction. The Link tells a first-hand story of a
hurricane’s different impacts on men and women. It offers suggestions for
improving gender justice in the face of climate change and ‘dirty’
investments. And it provides links to resources and key partners working
at the intersection of gender and climate change. The Gender Action Link
is not just a briefing; it is also a tool for cooperative action between
international finance watchers, climate change and gender justice activists.
