Ensuring that men and women have equal access to education, economic opportunities, productive inputs and equal chances to become socially and politically active can generate broad productivity gains, and lead to more inclusive and greener development path for all. For the World Bank, gender analysis is an integral aspect of the upstream social analysis that is required to inform both development policy lending (DPL) and investment lending (IL). It helps identify and suggest ways to mitigate possible risks in terms of exacerbating gender inequality, and highlight opportunities to enhance positive outcomes for gender equality. The entry points for such upstream gender analysis include Poverty and Social Impact Analysis (PSIA) in the case of DPL, climate financing mechanisms are beginning to adopt gender-sensitive approaches in program design and results frameworks, but more needs to be done. Much can be done to improve the effectiveness of climate finance and actions on the ground by ensuring that gender relations are taken into account in design, implementation, and measurement of results. But this can only be achieved through a concerted effort to apply a gender lens in climate finance mechanisms. It matters for development, and it matters for effective action on climate change.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCESS TO MICRO-FINANCEACCOUNT HOLDERSADOLESCENT GIRLSAFFORESTATIONAGENDA 21AIRAIR POLLUTIONATMOSPHEREAWARENESS RAISINGBENEFITS FOR WOMENBIOMASSCAPACITY BUILDINGCARBONCARBON EMISSIONSCARBON FINANCECARBON FOOTPRINTCARBON INTENSITYCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATE EXTREMESCLIMATE RESILIENCECLIMATE RISK MANAGEMENTCOLORSCREDITSCYCLONE PREPAREDNESSDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT BANKSDISASTER RECOVERYDISASTER RISK REDUCTIONDIVERSIFICATIONDROUGHTECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESELECTRICITYELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONEMISSIONSEMPOWERMENTEMPOWERMENT OF WOMENENDOWMENTSENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY POLICYENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTEQUAL ACCESSEQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATIONEQUAL OPPORTUNITIESEXPENDITUREEXPLOITATIONFAMILIESFAMILY INCOMEFARMERSFEMALEFINANCING MECHANISMSFORCED MARRIAGESFORESTFOREST CARBONFOREST GOVERNANCEFOREST MANAGEMENTFOREST PRODUCTSFOREST REGENERATIONFORESTRYFORESTSFUEL CONSUMPTIONGENDERGENDER ANALYSISGENDER ASSESSMENTGENDER AWARENESSGENDER BENEFITSGENDER CONCERNSGENDER CONSIDERATIONSGENDER DIFFERENCESGENDER DIMENSIONSGENDER EQUALITYGENDER GAPGENDER INEQUALITYGENDER ISSUESGENDER MAINSTREAMINGGENDER PERSPECTIVESGENDER RELATIONSGENDER ROLESGHGGIRLSGRASSROOTS WOMENGREATER ACCESSGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSHANDICRAFTSHEADS OF HOUSEHOLDSHOMEHOUSEHOLDSHOUSESHUMANITARIAN ACTIONHURRICANEHUSBANDIMPACT ANALYSISINEQUALITIESINFORMAL SECTORINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTERNAL MIGRATIONLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOR MIGRATIONLAND RIGHTSLAND USELEGAL STATUSLOAN FUNDMAINSTREAMING GENDERMARRIAGE FOR GIRLSMICRO-LOANSMICROFINANCEMICROFINANCE LENDINGMIGRANTMIGRANT WOMENPOLICY ANALYSISPOOR WOMENPRIVACYPRODUCTIVITYRENEWABLE ENERGYREVOLVING LOANRIGHTS FOR WOMENRISK MANAGEMENTSAVINGSSEXSEXESSEXUAL HARASSMENTSEXUAL HARASSMENT OF WOMENSINGLE PARENTSINGLE WOMENSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL FUNDSOCIAL RIGHTSSOIL CARBONSON PREFERENCESPOUSAL ABUSESUPPORT SERVICESUNDPUNIONUNITED NATIONSVICTIMSVIOLENCEVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE PEOPLEWATER QUALITYWIDOWSWIFEWILLWOMANWOMEN'S STATUSWorking PaperWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/27356
