Agriculture, food & forestry

Examples of gender-smart climate finance indicators for the sustainable agriculture, food and forestry sector include:

Direct criteria

  • Women-owned or women-founded agri-businesses accessing climate finance to adopt climate mitigation/adaptation practices (e.g. climate-smart agriculture)

  • Share of women in senior management or share of women on the Board in agribusiness companies or in funds* that have adopted climate mitigation and adaptation practices

    * For funds this also covers the share of women in the Investment Committee

  • Share of women in the workforce accessing green jobs

    AND

    Reskilling/upskilling programs for women to develop ‘green skills’

  • A product or service that specifically targets or benefits women that is climate-aligned, such as solar powered drip irrigation

Indirect criteria

  • On-lending facilities: percent of the DFI loan proceeds supporting agribusiness companies that meet BOTH the climate-finance and the 2X direct criteria

    Funds: percent of portfolio companies that are agribusinesses and that meet BOTH the climate-finance and the 2X direct criteria

    ** For investments through financial intermediaries, it is assumed that the investment already qualifies under the climate-finance criteria used by the investor
