E-Mobility as a Driver for Change: Towards a gender transformative and just transition to electric mobility

E-Mobility as a Driver for Change: Towards a gender transformative and just transition to electric mobility | Women and Gender Studies | Scoop.it
This report is the first deliverable under the project “E-Mobility as a Driver for Change - Towards a gender transformative and just transition to electric mobility” which is being implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) with funding from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The project aims to ensure that the introduction of, and shift to, electric mobility (E-Mobility) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) will include and promote the position and interests of women, to create a more gender transformative and just transport sector. Engaging more women in the E-Mobility ecosystem can in turn help to speed up the transition to zero emission mobility systems. This report has the objective to increase the knowledge and evidence base, internationally and locally, on how women can play a more important role in accelerating the take up of E-Mobility based on improved data availability. There is a unique opportunity to revise the current planning and decision making paradigm in transport as the transition to E-Mobility accelerates and disrupts the established system based on Internal Combustion Engine vehicles (ICEVs). It will also bring in new players and innovative opportunities leading to a more inclusive transport sector.
