Global experiences in bioenergy and bioeconomy
Gendering Energy and Bioeconomy Pathways
Short Introductive summary
The global concerns regarding climate change and energy were included in the Paris Agreement and the agreement on a Net Zero pathway (IPCC, 2018). Nevertheless, policies on energy and international agreements also tend to be gender blind. Gender lens to Agenda 2030 can help reveal interconnections between different targets by identifying and connecting biological, social, cultural, and situational gender dimensions of sustainability and development (Pollitzer, 2022). This paper presents the proposal of pathways under a just transition focusing on the assessment of gender dimensions and implications of it in bioenergy towards a just net zero development as being explored by the Genesys project and other projects related to bioeconomy (COSMOS, BIORESCUE, BIOMATES).
