DELIVERABLE 7.1 Gender Dimension Plan

This report presents the Gender Dimension Plan that has been developed as a part of the commitment of the LAND4CLIMATE project to encourage gender equality and inclusivity in the organisation and implementation of the research and innovation action.


The first section describes how different genders contribute within the organisation of the project team. In this regard, a baseline analysis of the gender distribution across staff shows that women and men are well represented, with more women participating than men. This also applies to the gender balance in managing functions, where significantly more women act as work package leaders or co-leaders. In addition, actions are defined to further promote gender equality and equal opportunities within the project consortium. These include the raising of awareness or ongoing monitoring activities.


The second section of the report presents actions to promote equal participation in the processing of work packages as well as in the interviews and workshops that form an essential part of the LAND4CLIMATE research. This comprises, e.g. the consideration of gender in the climate risk assessment and the monitoring of participants in stakeholder workshops.
The report serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it aims to raise awareness within the project consortium regarding gender and inclusivity. Secondly, it provides explicit guidance on promoting gender and inclusivity within the project and during the implementation of research, delineating clearly defined actions to achieve these objectives.
