The long shadow of insufficient attention to gender in measurement means that not everything that matters is currently regularly measured. Among the important innovations in recent years to change this is the WASH-GEM, an integrated, quantitative measure of the linkages between gender equality, water, sanitation and hygiene provision, and climate resilience. I had the privilege of engaging with the team at the UTS Institute for Sustainable Futures and partners during the measure’s development, and contributing on the edges to the deep thinking, diverse expertise, rigour, collaboration and partnership that underpins this work. So I am excited to provide some opening remarks at this webinar next week on the #WASHGEM, measuring what matters, the tools, training and support available, and insights from use in Bhutan, Nepal and Laos. ??? 28 January ?? 7pm Sydney (AEDT) |?3pm Bangkok | 9am Geneva Register here ?? https://lnkd.in/g_sAH9Yh #GenderEquality #WASH #ClimateResilience #MeasureWhatMatters Water for Women SNV Juliet Willetts Jess MacArthur Gabrielle Halcrow Ratan Bahadur Budhathoki Ugyen Wangchuk Alison Baker International Women's Development Agency (IWDA) Gender and Environment Data Alliance (GEDA) DataGénero - Observatorio Fleur Newman Mary Picard, PhD Ginette Azcona Sarah Boyd Sara Duerto Valero Equality Insights Joanna Lindner-Pradela

Join us today at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan! ??

?? GEDA members hosted the side event Bridging Data and Action in the Lead-up to COP29 at #UNGA79. Through two panels, the event offered an overview of the gender environment data landscape and then presented work on indicators and data methodologies of two members, including one of GEDA’s first small grants recipients. ?? Highlights: - Open Data Watch highlighted that among all categories assessed for gender data availability and openness, environmental data ranks lowest globally, with small island developing states facing the largest gaps.? - CK Collective shared their feminist oral history project, illustrating how they document environmental resilience stories while striving for communities to? retain ownership of their data. - Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN) International Speak database documents thousands of women-led climate solutions from frontline communities, demonstrating that data must connect to real people and lived experiences in climate action. - Population Council's studies in Bangladesh linking water salinity to maternal health outcomes exemplified the intersections between climate change, gender, and health that are often overlooked in policy. And finally, La Ruta del Clima presented their work in Central America on developing new indicators to measure gender-specific loss and damage from climate events, including a new app for community-based data collection. This work is funded through one of GEDA’s first small grants! We’re proud to be able to support this project and others like it. Watch the full event here to dive deeper into these highlights and more! https://lnkd.in/gPZ5cPgd Thanks to the Population Council for hosting us, and for?the Women's Environment & Development Organization, IUCN, Population Council, Climate Knowledge Collective, La Ruta del Clima, and Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN) International for co-sponsoring. #GenderEnvironmentData #UNGA79 #COP29

We had an incredible time at the?#FeministFuturesFestival?? We connected with Data2X, United Nations Foundation, She Leads and Gender and Environment Data Alliance (GEDA) to lead a session on the importance of data in building a?#GenderEqualFuture. We dove into: ? Key findings from the 2024 SDG Gender Index and how advocates could use this data ? How girls and young women define ‘good’ data for and about their lives, rights, and power ? How gender and environmental issues intersect and the importance of having data on both We asked the phenomenal gender champions that joined us "What are your gender data demands for a gender-equal future" and here are their answers! Gender Data is crucial in highlighting the unique needs of women and girls, demanding action and holding decision-makers accountable. But we can't do any of this without the right data! #FearlessFeministFutures?#WalktheTalk?#GenderData?#Data4Good?#Data4Change?#SheLeads The Accelerator for Gender Based Violence Prevention

We’re excited to join the UN World Data Forum #Commit2Data campaign, which aims to drive meaningful change through data. Spearheaded by GEDA Member Open Data Watch alongside Paris21 and the WDF Program Committee, this commitment campaign is generating momentum to collectively address data gaps, enhance transparency, and promote inclusiveness.

??After our recent call for applications, we are excited to announce the 5 recipients of our inaugural Small Grants initiative. The caliber of the 33 proposals that we received showcases the exciting work being done by GEDA members across the world to advance the availability, accessibility, and application of gender and environment data. The winning projects were chosen for their innovative methodologies and potential impact in both data production and use, particularly at the national and regional levels.
