Developing Gender-Sensitive Economic Policies for a Just Energy Transition in Colombia

The case of Cesar and Magdalena


This report analyses the role and impact of women in the mining sector in Colombia’s coal-producing regions Cesar and Magdalena.

It also presents proposals on how to develop economic policies with a gender perspective in the process of a just energy transition. These proposals are the result of a participatory process in alliance with women’s organisations in the municipalities of Ciénaga, Santa Marta, La Loma, La Jagua de Ibirico and Becerril.

The report was produced by Colombian environmental and human rights advocacy organisation Tierra Digna in collaboration with the Wuppertal Institute.

The report also outlines three specific project proposals developed in collaboration with women from the mining areas. These projects have been developed taking into account the proposed principles of a gender approach to achieve a just energy transition. Finally, specific recommendations are made to national and international stakeholders regarding policies and concrete actions to promote economic proposals with a gender perspective in the context of a just energy transition in mining areas.
