Climate action is seen as an important potential accelerator of gender equality and empowerment, offering an opportunity for more systematic involvement of women in both planning and implementation on climate action. In addition, there is mounting evidence that gender equality is i) an accelerator of both environmental sustainability and climate action and ii) that the focus on climate action offers new opportunities to enhance gender equality and economic empowerment. It is therefore important to have a good understanding of the priority areas for achieving climate and gender synergies.

The Gender and Climate Financing Baseline Study for Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina seeks to explore the opportunities for simultaneous tracking of financial flows targeting gender equality and climate change, by studying policies and budget allocations in sectors of agriculture and energy through both gender and climate lenses and providing recommendations and an action plan. 

The developed methodology contributes towards a better understanding of the synergies in tackling gender equality and climate change, while also providing an insight into the possibilities for tracking the financing of (other) SDGs.

In addition to developed methodology and action plan, the publication contains a Checklist for determining the gender/climate significance of budget programmes/ projects/ objectives and indicators, to support professionals in target institutions, whose expertise may lie in areas other than GRB, climate financing and/or conducting assessments.
