In April 2021, the WOW helpdesk published a guidance ahead of COP26 to help the UK government better understand the differential effects of climate change and support the inclusion of women in climate action. The guidance brought together latest thinking about how women’s economic empowerment (WEE) and climate change intersect and included a primer document and briefing on women and the net-zero economy.

This update to the 2021 guidance summarises new evidence and presents a revised framework for action. It includes new actions on policy and finance, and provides new examples and tools that can be integrated into policy and programming to support action from the UK government and business.
