Interlinkages between SDG5 and SDG7: Closing gender data gaps to inform energy decision making
ENERGIA, UNDESA and UNIDO side event “Interlinkages between SDG5 and SDG7: Closing gender data gaps to inform energy decision making”, taking place virtually on Monday, July 11, will draw the attention on the need for high-quality, sex-disaggregated, and consistency in data collection to address the interlinkages of energy with other SDGs and how access to affordable, sustainable, and clean energy is a precondition for the achievement of SDG5 on gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.
This side event aims to foster a dialogue between decision makers, leading experts and organizations to highlight the importance of applying a gender lens on energy data in order to accelerate gender-transformative progress towards the 2030 Agenda. It will focus on initiatives and experiences from other organisations, including members of the Gender and Energy Compact, the global, multi-stakeholder coalition led by ENERGIA, GWNET and UNIDO.You can access to more information here.
