Climate funding in agriculture that considers women can improve environmental, social and economic outcomes

Despite opportunities for significant impact, gender-responsive climate finance in agriculture remains
underfunded.

Key messages:

• Climate finance that responds to women’s needs can have significant positive impacts on climate and gender outcomes in the agriculture and land-use sectors.
• Although a variety of climate nancing institutions are integrating gender and climate
  strategies, they need to better share approaches, benchmarks and lessons.
• A business case for gender-responsive finance is emerging, but clearer communication
  of evidence, definitions and approaches would instill greater confidence in private investors.
• Major climate finance actors should prioritize supporting intermediaries who have on-ground experience with the local contexts and associated gender and social dynamics.
