This report examines the gender and intersectional dimensions of coal mining and phase-out in Cesar, Colombia, drawing on a literature review, stakeholder mapping, and interviews with community leaders, NGO members, and government representatives across five municipalities.
This report identifies interconnected policy and research priorities for truly just transitions away from coal. Policy priorities include extending focused support to informal and feminised economies, embedding intersectional analysis in mine closure processes and regulation, strengthening protection mechanisms for human rights defenders, and adopting a long-delayed Public Policy for Women. Research priorities include developing frameworks for understanding how energy transitions affect LGBTIQ+ people, operationalising gender and intersectionality beyond binary gender frameworks, and generating longitudinal evidence on post-closure impacts.
