The EU gender equality strategy acknowledges that the policies under the European Green Deal affect women and men differently. To leverage the full potential of green policies it is crucial to recognise the synergies between the European Green Deal and the EU gender equality strategy, and thus address the gender and intersectional dimension of these policies.

A gender-responsive evaluation for a sustainable future for all aims to follow a transformative and intersectional approach and recognises the importance of a gender-equal green transition that is just and fair for today and for future generations. 

As a gender mainstreaming method, gender-responsive evaluation goes beyond assessing interventions specifically focused on gender equality and can be applied to all types of interventions (policies, programmes, projects, legislation and fitness checks), making it a critical component of EU policymaking processes.
