Economic empowerment of excluded groups in the COP26 energy campaign - key issues to consider in applications to the Rapid Response Facility

This resource highlights the key issues around the economic empowerment of women, people with disabilities and other excluded populations. It was undertaken as a piece of rapid research to support interventions of the Rapid Response Facility, set up by the UK’s COP26 energy campaign. 

The resource highlights how there is limited published evidence on people with disabilities and the energy transition, and how many points stated on women’s economic empowerment also apply to the economic empowerment of people with disabilities. The resource annex includes a checklist for the inclusion of women and people with disabilities in applications to the Rapid Response Facility.
