The care economy: where gender-smart and climate-smart investment meet
Kore Global - 2024
Kore Global has been deeply reflecting on the gendered nexus of care and climate as part of our IDRC-funded knowledge products. The first installment "The care economy: where gender-smart and climate smart investment meet“ is now available on our Care Economy Knowledge Hub. This brief outlines how climate change exacerbates the unequal distribution of unpaid care work shouldered by women and girls while deepening gender inequalities and increasing their vulnerability to environmental and social challenges. We spotlight innovative care economy businesses that are pioneering solutions at the intersection of climate resilience and gender equality. We showcase their distinctive strategies and provide actionable recommendations for investors seeking to support transformative approaches that address these interconnected challenges.
