The Gender Equality and Climate Policy Scorecard, June 2026

The Scorecard measures progress in six areas of gender-responsive climate action (Economic Security, Unpaid Care Work, Gender-Based Violence, Health, Participation and Leadership, and Gender mainstreaming). It helps civil society, governments, and the UN monitor progress on gender commitments in climate policies and encourages learning from good practices.

This fact sheet reviews 67 third‑iteration NDCs (Nationally Determined Contributions) submitted by 30 September 2025, together with case studies from Cambodia, Kenya, and Uruguay. Therefore, it enables comparisons across some countries and policy areas, identifies gaps, and supports accountability through an online repository of good practices. Its methodology can also be applied to other climate policy documents to provide a broader view of countries' efforts to advance both gender equality and climate action.

The full dataset, including information on policy actions, can be accessed on an interactive dashboard: https://www.unwomen.org/en/climate-scorecard.

INTERSECTIONALITY WHEELS: Then and Now

Image
Back in 2009, the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women (CRIAW-ICREF) developed the Intersectionality Wheel for their publication, Everyone Belongs: A Toolkit for Applying Intersectionality. The goal was to illustrate how various facets of discrimination and social identity come together in people’s lives. Lately, The Equality Institute has refined this model. Their version focuses on a person’s life stages, from infancy to adulthood, and shows how these stages intersect with identities like race, gender, disability, and Indigenous status, while also considering broader systemic challenges such as racism, sexism, and colonialism. Included in the 2022 publication of the UN Women and UN PRPD Intersectionality Resource Guide and Toolkit, this version highlights that a person’s experiences are ever-changing and never fixed. It further deepens the understanding of how power, identity, and social context evolve throughout one’s life. Hnin Ei Lwin #Monitoring   #Evaluat...

While this represents ongoing progress, the current trajectory...
