While everyone is vulnerable to climate change, the impact is not equal for everyone. Climate change vulnerability is compounded by marginalisation and injustice associated with low income, gender, ethnicity, and other social and economic issues. Therefore, in order to be effective, the climate solution needs to address these issues and challenges. In this regard, women play a crucial role both in energy supply and consumption. Yet, their role in building climate resilience in communities is hardly acknowledged. Thus, to address climate change issues, it is imperative to involve women in the energy transition process. Despite its limitations, clean energy can greatly empower women as their involvement in economic activities becomes much more accessible. In developing countries where gender inequality remains high, clean energy is required to empower women and to respect the country’s commitment towards the global environment through less-carbon-intensive energy systems. Given the above, the primary objective of this article is to mainstream the gender dimension of climate vulnerability and energy transition using various theoretical perspectives.
