K1a. Proportion of women and men in climate change decision-making bodies at the national level in the EU Member States: Level 1 (ministers) bpfa_k__wmid_env_natmin_ministers

Time format:
Years
Unit:
Percentage of total (comparable)
Description:

For monitoring Area K of the BPfA, a series of indicators (K1 to K3) look at the gender balance amongst key decision-makers in European and national level authorities dealing with policies related to environment/climate change, energy, and transport and amongst EU representatives in relevant international bodies.

This indicator covers ministers in national governments with responsibility for one or more of the afore-mentioned policy areas. The data are compiled annually as part of EIGE's regular data collection on women and men in decision-making. The full set of underlying data can be found in the Environment and climate-change entry point of this database.

EIGE's data collection on women and men in decision-making: methodology

Note that EIGE's data collection distinguishes between "senior" ministers, who are members of the cabinet (or council of ministers), and "junior" ministers, without a seat in the cabinet. No such distinction is made here and all ministers are counted equally. A view showing the breakdown is available here.
