Significant progress has been made in closing the data gap at the gender-environment-climate nexus, but power imbalances still remain. By recognising the contributions of non-state actors in the collection and generation of valuable data and evidence, and integrating this with information from state actors, we can support better informed decision-making. We call this a ‘whole-of-society approach’ to data. Investment in grassroots organisations' capacity to collect and utilise data will empower communities to advocate for transformative, interconnected solutions. These are the messages that IIED and partners will be taking to this year's 69th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69), focusing on data challenges hindering the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.
