Gender and the ‘Green New Deal’
A paper for the WBG commission on a Gender Equal Economy, proposing a Green New Deal which puts intersectional gender equality front and centre.

What does it mean to pay attention to inequalities of gender, race, disability and class when we think about transitioning to a green economy? This briefing sets out recommendations for a Green New Deal which puts intersectional gender equality front and centre.
Watch the authors discuss their paper here
Though popular and crucial, Green New Deal frameworks do not typically foreground inequalities of gender, race and class. A new paper from the UK Women’s Budget Group and the WEN (Women’s Environmental Network) seeks to begin filling this gap by asking, what would a Feminist Green New Deal look like?
This briefing is a summary of a paper authored by Sherilyn MacGregor and Maeve Cohen for the UK Women’s Budget Group’s Commission on a Gender-Equal Economy.
You can watch the authors in discussion with WEN and Women’s Budget Group on why we must expand our ideas around a Green New Deal if we want to create a gender- equal economy.
