What's in a tag? Lessons from Japan on gender integration in climate finance

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The UNFCCC treats gender-responsive climate action as a cross-cutting mandate, yet we know remarkably little about what this looks like at the level of individual projects. This paper examines how gender is actually integrated in climate finance projects by taking Japan’s gender-tagged climate finance – specific projects scored “principal” or “significant” on the DAC gender equality policy marker and Rio climate markers – as a case study, and surfacing project-level findings grounded in Fraser’s (1995, 2005, 2008) theory of justice and the OECD DAC gender equality continuum.

Politicization of religion and the timing of political conflicts: evidence from John Paul II's international travels

Tue, 09 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Between 1978 and 2005, Pope John Paul II traveled to 102 developing countries with the aim, inter alia, of promoting interreligious peace to populations and policy makers. Despite an increasing involvement of religious leaders in peace-building activities, concerns rise on the propensity of religious issues to be locally exploited for political interests. This article examines the dynamic effects of John Paul II travels on the risk of political conflict in host countries depending on their religious demography. Our empirical strategy combines the development of a political conflict risk index, an impact assessment methodology, and the estimation of local projections. Our results show that the travels of John Paul II reduce the risk of conflict in host countries over a 4-year horizon, particularly when the proportion of Catholics is low. We also observe a temporary rise in the risk of conflict for religiously polarized countries.
