OECD COP29 Virtual Pavilion

Gender inclusion strategies in climate-responsive transport

OnlineNov 21, 2024 | 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM

Description

Acknowledging gendered travel patterns and the accessibility challenges women face is essential for creating sustainable, decarbonised transport systems. The “mobility of care", i.e. travel associated with caregiving, household errands and schools, disproportionately falls on women. These trips often involve multiple stops and routes yet are frequently overlooked in transport planning. This session will explore the important connection between accessibility and sustainability in transport. It will highlight policy tools including the International Transport Forum’s Gender Analysis Toolkit, developed to help to integrate data-driven, gender-sensitive approaches into transport planning.

In the cities of Accra and Kumasi in Ghana, basic services such as markets, healthcare facilities and primary schools are out of reach for many people who walk and use popular transport - minibuses known as trotros. People who can afford cars opt for them, as they offer greater access to services, but they also represent the most unsustainable mode of transport.
