This Working Paper was prepared for the Economic Commission for Europe’s Group of Experts on Gender Statistics, and outlines the relevance of Equality Insights to the landscape of data on gender and environment. It describes the rationale for including the environment as a dimension of multidimensional poverty and how it is assessed, briefly documenting the evolution in approach over time and presenting examples of resulting insights.

The Working Paper introduces the Equality Insights Rapid survey implemented in Tonga in 2022, some four months after the eruption of the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai volcano and associated tsunami. The approach to assessing environment as a dimension of multidimensional deprivation via a phone survey is outlined and initial results presented, illustrating the types of environmental insights that can be generated. Reflections are offered regarding the analysis that is possible given the scope of the data set and its contribution to the gender and environment data landscape.
