To understand gender-environment-climate change nexus issues, inform related policies, and support monitoring and accountability processes, it is critical to ensure related data is available, comparable and timely. Over the years, the international statistical community has advanced the development of indicator sets, metadata and data collection tools to support Member States in the production of related statistics. Existing relevant frameworks that include indicators on the intersections between gender, environment and climate change include, for instance, the Sendai Framework, the Global Set of Climate Change Statistics and Indicators, the Asia-Pacific Set of Gender-Environment Indicators, the 100 Gender and Environment Indicator Set, and the Sustainable Development Goals Monitoring Framework.

ESCAP and UN Women organized a regional workshop on gender, environment and climate change statistics. The dialogue brought together data producers and data users from across the region, to share experiences on the measurement of the nexus, and learn from others about potential solutions to fill related data gaps, enhance reporting towards global environmental commitments, and promote the use of these data for gender analysis, national policy design and monitoring of implementation.

The agenda of the workshop can be found in concept note.
