Why the European Green Deal Needs Ecofeminism

This report maps the gender gaps and opportunities in the EU’s flagship European Green Deal. It explores how, though gender issues affect environmental policies and vice-versa, they are not integrated into the European Green Deal.

This publication also provides recommendations on how to move from gender-blind to gender-transformative environmental policies. These include intersectional and gender equal environmental objectives, moving towards a feminist economy of well-being and care and ensuring the use of gender mainstreaming methodologies in environmental policies.

This report was produced by the EEB in collaboration with WECF with contributions from ActionAid, BalckEarthKollectiv,  DOOR, Ecolise, Equinox, ESF, FOCUS, GenderCC, Geres, the Global Women’s Network for the Energy Transition, Heinrich-Böll Stiftung, IEEP, IREC, IRENA, MilieuKontakt, Newcastle University, Sogesca, Universitat Autonoma Barcelona, Youth Environment Europe and  Wide+.
