To understand the extent to which gender is being mainstreamed in energy policies at national levels, the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Global Gender Office (GGO), in collaboration with ENERGIA, the International Network on Gender and Sustainable Energy, conducted an assessment of 192 energy policies, plans or strategies—herein commonly referred to as “frameworks”—from 137 developed and developing countries. The assessment was developed under the Gender Equality for Climate Change Opportunities (GECCO) initiative, a fiveyear collaboration between IUCN and USAID that aims to leverage advancements in women’s empowerment and gender equality through, and for, the benefit of climate change and development outcomes.
