Gender research specialist provides support to the EfD network
Sandra Aguilar-Gomez has joined EfD as its first dedicated gender research expert, providing the network with strategic, methodological, and conceptual support.
Scientific evidence shows climate change and environmental degradation affect men and women unequally. Women are also more likely to identify climate change and environmental degradation as pressing global concerns.
“In addition, environmental policies can backfire if we’re not aware of gender issues,” says Sandra Aguilar-Gomez.
She will conduct research with EfD’s collaborative programs and support the network through workshops, a help desk, and collaboration with the WinEED initiative.
