Gender Friendly Technologies

Technologies are, in general, unfortunately not gender-neutral, and tackling climate change demands that everyone’s experience and skills are used. Therefore, climate technology action must ensure that everyone is engaged in decision-making processes, development, and use of technologies, and benefits from their outcomes. Women commonly face higher risks and greater burdens from the impacts of climate change, and their needs must be addressed to ensure effective and equitable climate change actions. Women also introduce new perspectives and innovations in identifying and implementing solutions.

At the Climate Technology Park, many of the technologies we demonstrate at the various climate zones are designed to be gender-friendly, especially for rural communities. Thereby, they are made more climate-resilient.
