As the IFIs step up investments in environmentally-controversial
infrastructure projects such as fossil-fuel generating extractive
industries and manage increasingly larger climate investment
funds, Gender Action is addressing their gender impacts. Our
gender,
international finance and climate change link provides
resources on the gender impacts of IFI and commercial bank
investments in sectors heavily impacted by climate change:
such as agriculture, health, post-conflict and post-disaster
reconstruction. The Link offers suggestions for improving
gender justice in the face of climate change and ‘dirty’
IFI investments. The Link is not just a briefing; it is also
a tool for cooperative action between international finance
watchers, climate change and gender justice activists. Furthermore,
in China, one of the largest IFI borrowers for infrastructure
investments, Gender Action is providing capacity building
for local partners to hold IFIs accountable for the impacts
of their projects on gender and climate change. See our IFI
Gender Audit and Advocacy: A Toolkit for Chinese Civil Society
Organizations.
