This month, the UN’s largest annual gathering on gender equality and women’s empowerment, the Commission of the Status of Women (CSW), will address a critical issue: strengthening institutions and financing with a gender perspective. This could not be timelier. We face a global climate crisis that is exacerbating gender inequality, but the data we use to track this is not fit for purpose. That’s why I will be at CSW, advocating for the data so desperately needed to establish gender-sensitive adaptation strategies.
