Gender Mainstreaming the European Union Energy Transition

Abstract

This paper explores gender dimensions of the energy transition in the European Union (EU). The EU has set out its ambitions for an equitable transition to clean secure energy. It has also set out it objectives for gender equality. In this paper, I implement a systematic literature review to explore the intersection of gender issues with the energy transition in the EU. There is little peer reviewed literature in this area. Analysis of academic papers shows most focus on social science rather than technical or engineering problems. A critical review of the grey literature including EU policies and reports shows that there is a disconnect between EU gender equality and clean energy plans and that gender has yet to be mainstreamed into the EU energy transition. This review identifies opportunities to mainstream gender into EU energy policies by linking to EU gender equality objectives, and connecting to gender-energy research themes.

Pengaruh Faktor Budaya Patriarki pada Pembagian Kerja Rumah Tangga: Studi Kasus Desa Buluh Cawang, Ogan Komering Ilir

“…Terletak di daerah yang sebagian besar bersifat pedesaan, Buluh Cawang memberikan wawasan tentang bagaimana norma budaya tradisional membentuk pembagian kerja dalam rumah tangga dan berkontribusi pada disparitas gender (Lauve-Moon, 2020;Lomazzi, 2019;Rawłuszko, 2019). Meskipun Indonesia telah mengalami kemajuan dalam berbagai indikator pembangunan, termasuk kesetaraan gender, nilai-nilai patriarki terus berpengaruh kuat pada struktur sosial dan keluarga, terutama di daerah pedesaan di mana adat istiadat tradisional sangat tertanam (Carroll, 2022;Memon, 2019;Newby, 2021).…”

Implementasi Pengarusutamaan Gender dalam Sistem Pendidikan di Desa Purnajaya, Kecamatan Indralaya Utara

“…Pengarusutamaan gender dalam sistem pendidikan mengacu pada upaya untuk memastikan bahwa baik laki-laki maupun perempuan memiliki kesempatan yang sama dalam hal akses, partisipasi, dan manfaat dari Pendidikan (Cameron, 2020;Lauve-Moon, 2020;Lomazzi, 2019;Tsige, 2020). Namun, implementasi pengarusutamaan gender tidak selalu berjalan lancar dan masih dihadapkan pada berbagai tantangan (Carroll, 2022;Memon, 2019;Newby, 2021;Rawłuszko, 2019).…”

Mujeres y cambio institucional. Estudio de caso múltiple en empresas de bioeconomía circular

“…En términos más generales, la escasa literatura existente que conecta género y bioeconomía contribuye sumándose a los movimientos en torno a la sostenibilidad y a la discusión global en torno a la continuidad del actual modelo económico y sus patrones de productividad y consumo (Binder-Castro, 2016). Las mujeres están teniendo un papel activo en ámbitos como la agroecología y la gestión de los recursos hídricos (Adams et al, 2019) o el cambio cultural para disminuir la pobreza y vulnerabilidad energética (Carroll, 2022). La mayoría de ejemplos tienen en común las fuertes críticas al modelo capitalista industrial actual (Lara, 2014) y la revisión del contrato social vigente, reproductor de desigualdad de género, al basarse en la estructura de poder masculina dominante, sostenida en la atribución de roles y la organización del trabajo (Waylen, 2014).…”

“…Generally speaking, the limited studies existing on the relationship between gender and the bioeconomy may join with the movements on sustainability and the global discussion related to the continuity of the current economic model and its productivity and consumption patterns (Binder-Castro, 2016). Women currently play an active role in areas such as agroecology and water resources management (Adams et al, 2019) as well as culture change to decrease energy poverty and vulnerability (Carroll, 2022). Most examples coincide in their harsh criticism of the current industrial capitalist model (Lara, 2014) and in reviewing the existing social contract, which reproduces gender inequality, given that it is based on the dominant male power structure, sustained by role attribution and work organization (Waylen, 2014).…”
