Gap description:
1 - There is a lack of gender-sensitive indicators to monitor and assess the impact of NbS projects on women.
This oversight makes it difficult to track progress, identify challenges, and make necessary adjustments. Moreover, evaluations that integrate gender perspectives are often missing, which limits the capacity to learn from past NbS projects and improve future ones, ultimately reducing the effectiveness of gender-responsive approaches"
2 - Gender-specific data and guidelines for NbS and EbA {Ecosystem-based Adaptation} initiatives that include baselines and gender assessments beyond simple sex-disaggregated data so as to account for both tangible and intangible gender dimensions – including intersecting categories of, for example, ethnicity, class and age – are needed to address the gender gaps at the interface of gender, biodiversity and climate change.
