Climate for Change: Gender Equality & Climate Policy in the City of Munich

Client: City of Munich (2004-2005) | Area: Organizations & Humans

Main Interest |

On behalf of the city of Munich, SINE conducted a study on the situation of women working in fields related to climate change. The city of Munich, represented by the department for health and environment, participated as one of 13 project partners in the EU-project “Climate for Change: Gender Equality & Climate Policy”, which was coordinated by the Klima-Bündnis/Alianza del Clima e.V.. Other participating municipalities were (among others) Lahti (Finland), Malmö (Sweden), Naples, Venice, Genova (Italy), Berlin, Dresden and Frankfurt a.M. (Germany). The project was designed to contribute to a balanced participation of women and men on decisions in climate change related policy areas – especially in the field of municipal climate protection.
