Although geothermal energy is globally
recognized as a clean and reliable source of heat and
electric power its development can inadvertently lead to
adverse outcomes that disproportionately disadvantage women.
Based on good practices and lessons learned, this report
introduces ways that geothermal projects can mitigate risks
and pursue opportunities to address gender gaps within the
project cycle. It outlines the risks and opportunities
associated with (i) changes in land and natural resource
use, (ii) changes to employment and economic patterns, and
(iii) changes to environment and health. Beyond mapping
risks and opportunities, the report makes the case for
focusing on the gaps between men and women from the project
outset. Once gaps, key stakeholder risks, and additional
development opportunities have been identified, project
teams have an opportunity to address them through actions.
The report provides guidance on how to include specific
monitoring and evaluation indicators in the results
framework for geothermal projects that measure progress
toward closing gaps between men and women. In addition, the
report contains an overview of guidance and toolkits
developed, selected global case studies, and other resources
so that project teams, governments, and geothermal
developers have additional guidance on hand to prepare more
equitable projects. |
