The purpose of the primer is to help the UK government in its thinking around how to better understand the differential effects of climate change and support the inclusion of women in climate action. The primer brings together the latest thinking about how women’s economic empowerment (WEE) and climate change intersect, specifically how climate action can support women’s economic empowerment and how women’s economic empowerment can contribute to climate and environmental outcomes.

This rapid desk-based research will support interventions of the Rapid Response Facility (RRF) - drawing on what is publicly available from online searches. The findings show that there is very little published evidence around people with disabilities and the energy transition, but many points stated on WEE also apply to the economic empowerment of people with disabilities.
