4. 11. Women and the environment (K) 4.11.1. The strategic objectives from the Platform for Action Following the Beijing platform for Action Women and the Environment was defined as critical area K and associated with three strategic objectives: • K.1. Involve women actively in environmental decision-making at all levels • K.2. Integrate gender concerns and perspectives in policies and programmes for sustainable development • K.3. Strengthen or establish mechanisms at the national, regional and international levels to assess the impact of development and environmental policies on women 4.11.2. Availability and relevance of EU-wide indicators No indicators on women and the environment have been developed in the EU. 4.11.3. Trends in the discussion on gender and environment The strategic objectives in the Beijing platform stress the importance of increasing the participation of women in the sectors related to environmental issues. The environmental field is broad and this means that gender balance has to be achieved in a range of sectors. Europe-wide data on policy- making, sector specific professions, and education show gender gaps. For example, as the section in this report on women and decision-making shows, political decision-making is far from gender balanced. Furthermore, the EU is a segregated workplace as shown in the section on women and the economy. Women mainly have jobs in health, caring and service professions while industrial jobs are often dominated by men. Sectors such as energy, transport, and technological development are highly important for environmental issues but tend to be dominated by men in the workforce. Furthermore, managerial and policy-making positions in these sectors are entrusted mainly to men. 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 118 ANNEX DG G EN
Women remain absent from leadership, political and entrepreneurial decision-making, from ownership in various companies, from the workforce of this sector and from the technical schools and scientific educational institutions where the future labour force is trained. The Climate Issue is one of the most salient environmental issues in the contemporary global debate. Gender aspects have been absent from the convention and the negotiations in the past (until Bali Cop13). Only a few women have been able to engage in or contribute to future climate policies. The proportion of female ministers who attend climate negotiations has been fluctuating between 15 and 20 % (Nordic Council 2009:12). At the March 2008 session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) a panel debate was hosted on gender and climate. This event was followed by a Nordic conference on gender equality and climate change, hosted by the Nordic Council of Ministers in February 2009. At the conference 15 recommendations were drafted in preparation for the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 15) in Copenhagen in December 2009. The basic assumptions on climate change and gender are that women and men affect the environment differently and are affected differently by climate change, and that there is a considerable gender gap in decision-making relating to climate change (Nordic Council of Ministers 2009). This report also states that no data or studies have examined the connections between women's and men's behavioural patterns and climate change. However, studies have been conducted in climate-related sectors and these studies show that consumption and lifestyle patterns differ between women and men in rich countries as well. The difference is related to the gender division of labour and women's different access to resources, material wealth and power. Women have on average smaller incomes, less leisure time and generally consume less in comparison to men in the same geographical and social location. The gender division of labour means, for example, that women tend to work closer to the home and thus travel less often and shorter distances. A larger proportion of the male population than of the female use private cars and air travel far more frequently. Women tend to walk and use public transport. Mobility patterns seem to be shaped by different tasks in the division of labour (Vinz 2009:166). 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 119 ANNEX DG G EN
