PCC spotlights need for gender equality in Just Energy Transition

The Just Energy Transition (JET) framework inadequately addresses the issue of gender inequalities, says the Presidential Climate Commission (PCC), explaining that the need for gender equity is being prioritised in further planning processes in the JET, with an emphasis on implementation. In a dialogue hosted on August 11, the PCC unpacked how the oversight of gender inequality had been raised on various platforms by stakeholders, especially since climate change exacerbates existing inequalities and increases the vulnerability of women, the marginalised and underrepresented populations.
