Aguilar, L, Araujo, A. and Quesada Aguilar, A., 2007. IUCN Fact Sheet –

Gender and Climate Change.

http://generoyambiente.org/admin/ admin_biblioteca/documentos/ Factsheet%20ClimateChange.pdf

Fact sheet presented at COP-13 (Conference of the Parties) of the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change), held in Bali in December 2007. Climate change does not affect women and men in the same way; it has, and will continue to have, a different impact, depending on gender. Therefore, all aspects related to climate change (i.e., mitigation, adaptation, policy development and decision-making) must include a gender perspective.

- Reforestation, Aforestation, Deforestation, Climate Change and Gender.

http://cmsdata.iucn.org/downloads/ gender_factsheet_forestry.pdf

Fact sheet present at COP-13 of the UNFCCC, held in Bali in

December 2007. It is crucial to understand the role played by women when considering the complexity of the services provided by forests and rain forests to mitigate climate change. Strategies are now designed to: comprehend and take account of the different benefits women and men receive from forestry services; recognize gender differences in having access to and controlling and knowledge about forest resources; and identify significant differences in the access women and men have to decisions, institutions and economic opportunities related to forestry.

IUCN Fact Sheet - Gender and Bioenergy.

http://generoyambiente.org/admin/ admin_biblioteca/documentos/ Factsheet%20BioEnergy.pdf

Fact sheet presented at COP-13 of the UNFCCC, held in Bali in December 2007. Energy is a means of satisfying needs. Both women and men depend on energy for most of their daily activities, but they have different needs and roles; in addition, the different energy services have different impacts on men and women. In the past, the energy needs of women, and their lifestyles, were ignored. Both traditional fuels and modern energy services have certain limitations that may increase the problems women face.
