Objectives and Activities

By leveraging the networks of its membership, the Alliance mobilizes diverse stakeholders to curate, communicate, amplify, and learn from gender and environment data. The Alliance also engages in capacity and skills building at multiple levels, from grassroots practice to national implementation to global statistics norm-setting bodies. GEDA works to advance gender-just climate and environmental action by catalyzing and scaling the analysis and use of gender-disaggregated data and intersectional analysis. 

Purpose

Formed as a Collective Commitment under the Generation Equality Forum, GEDA works to improve accessibility, methods, understanding and application of robust gender data to contribute to equitable and sustainable outcomes for all. GEDA is growing over an initial 5-year implementation phase, to serve four key functions:

Compile and Review

Compile and review existing data and research at the nexus between gender and the environment, serving as a recognized reference hub to aggregate and analyze feminist, traditional and non-traditional data sources. 

Amplify and Communicate

Amplify and communicate disaggregated, intersectional gender data, to scale gender-transformative policy and programming, including and beyond the traditional data establishment. 

Strengthen Capacity

Strengthen capacity of statistical bureaus and other traditional data spaces and actors to catalyze best practices, and use of quality data and knowledge to promote gender-transformative environment and climate action, guided by feminist, participatory action research methods and citizen-generated data.

Influence Norms

Influence norms of data generation, synthesis and analysis, including to strengthen the mandates of intergovernmental processes and redefine analytical frameworks around gender, climate, and environment, by expanding definitions and representation.
