Gender-responsive sustainable finance recognises that green financing instruments can be used to address gender inequalities. Despite progress, women worldwide have less access to finance and related decision making, and sustainable finance frameworks often fail to integrate gender responsiveness, metrics, and data.

Next Tuesday, 15 March at 3PM CET, join the Green Finance Platform for "Gender-Responsive Sustainable Finance: Towards Inclusive Market Economies." An official Side Event for the 66th Commission on the Status of Women, this webinar will feature inputs from experts at the OECD, IFC, EBRD, GGGI, Climate Investment Funds, and UNDP Finance Sector Hub.

The discussion will focus on practical knowledge, including:

▶️ Measuring gender-responsive financing: Incorporation of gender in investors’ financial analysis (intangible asset) and ESG selection criteria, with focus on metrics and monitoring impact, business case for gender-sensitive green credit lines.

▶️ Encouraging international climate finance mechanisms to use gender-disaggregated data: Gender policy in climate funds and incentives to access those funds.

▶️ Catalysing gender-responsive sustainable finance: Investment incentives that governments may use to address gender equity, including subsidies, grants, tax incentives, blended finance, and procurement incentives.
