Best practices & targeted interventions23References Summary Sex-disaggregated data – data collected and analyzed separatelyfor women and men – is crucial for understanding gender gaps andpromoting gender-responsive policies and practices. Althoughorganizations in the energy sector have programmes and policies toempower women, persistent challenges – including limited capacityand resources, as well as methodological inconsistencies – still needto be overcome to collect and analyze disaggregated data. The lackof sex-disaggregated data hinders the identification and addressingof gender disparities, with many countries falling short in monitoringthe gender-specific dimensions of the Sustainable DevelopmentGoals (SDGs) as set by the United Nations (UN) in Agenda 2030. Women and girls are disproportionally impacted by energy poverty and climatechange,1and yet they are significantly underrepresented in decision-making, as well asin the design and delivery of energy solutions. Women represent only 32 percent of therenewable energy workforce, despite being on the frontlines of the sustainable energytransition.2The gender gap in the energy sector means that women’s perspectives,needs and experiences are often overlooked in the development of energy policiesand technologies. Closing this gender gap and ensuring equal participation of womenis crucial to a sustainable and equitable energy transition. To overcome these challenges, it is important to define gender indicators that capturegender-specific information and monitor progress toward gender equality in the energysector, as well as the gender impact of energy policies, projects and programmes. Byintegrating gender indicators and utilizing sex-disaggregated data, policymakers anddevelopment practitioners can design tailored policies and programmes that addressgender inequalities and contribute to the achievement of the interconnected SDGs. Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7) background1 SDG7 calls for universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainableand modern energy for all by 2030. It is key to mitigating andadapting to climate change, focusing on expanding universal accessto modern energy services, increasing substantially the share ofrenewable energy in the global energy mix, and doubling the globalrate of improvement in energy efficiency. At today’s rate of progress, the world is not on track to achieve SDG7 by 2030. Basedon current trends, achieving SDG7.1.1 – universal electricity access by 2030 – is unlikely;an estimated 660 million people will still lack electricity access by 2030. Similarly,achieving SDG7.1.2 – clean cooking access – is also unlikely; an estimated 1.8 to 1.9billion people may still lack access to clean cooking by 2030. Furthermore, accordingto UN Women, SDG7 is one of six SDGs that have no gender-specific indicators.3 The interlinkages between SDG7 and all other SDGs are crucial for achievingsustainable development globally by 2030.4Energy plays a fundamental role inenhancing well-being and livelihoods and supporting various other aspects of humandevelopment. From job creation to economic development, from security concerns tothe elimination of violence against women, from the eradication of poverty and accessto education infrastructure and learning opportunities, energy lies at the heart of theSDGs
