Description:

The Gender Statistics Database (GSD) of the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) contains data on the numbers of women and men in key decision-making (WMID) positions across a number of different life domains. Data may cover international, European, national, regional and local levels and currently include 38 European countries. The GSD aims to provide reliable statistics that can be used to monitor the current situation and trends over time.

The domains covered include politics, public administration, judiciary, business and finance, social partners and NGOs, environment, media, science and research, sports, and transport. The decision-making positions covered are specific to each area.

A decision-making position is a position from which it is possible to take or influence a decision:

  • within a domain: at organisational level. This restricts coverage to organisations having a major influence in the domain at the territorial level of interest, which is usually national but can also be international, European, regional or local;
  • within an organisation: at hierarchical level. This restricts coverage to positions within the hierarchy that have a major input to decision-making within the organisation.

WMID Methodological report

The environment and climate change domain includes statistics on women and men in key decision-making positions with competences in environment and climate change. Data on environment at the international level cover decision-making positions in the Bureau of the Conference of the Parties and delegations to the Conference of the Parties (COP) and Subsidiary bodies (SBs) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The UNFCCC is an international treaty which provides a framework for the 195 Parties to limit the average global temperature increases resulting in climate change, and to cope with its impacts.

Organisations covered:

  • Conference of the Parties (COP): all States that are Parties to the Convention are represented at the COP which is the highest political decision-making body of the Convention
  • Subsidiary Bodies (SBs): there are two permanent Subsidiary Bodies (the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and technological Advice and the Subsidiary Body for Implementation). These bodies (collectively known as SBs) provide support to the COP in technical matters (ad-hoc working groups are also included in the count, where applicable)
  • The Bureau of the COP: responsible for questions of process management of international negotiation within the COP

Positions covered:

  • Bureau of the COP: President and members (count includes the president)
  • Conference of the Parties (COP) and Subsidiary Bodies (SBs): members of national and EU delegations
