In the face of worsening climate change and environmental degradation, UN Women and partners designed a specialized gender and environment survey to help National Statistics Offices close crucial data gaps on gendered impacts. In Tonga, the survey was rolled out between 31 October and 24 December 2022, reaching 2,541 households with two respondents per household. Remarkable efforts were made to reach respondents from the most marginalized households across the country’s many islands. In collaboration with the Tonga Statistics Department, UN Women produced a documentary on the survey’s administration, detailing how complex operations were managed to reach all of the country’s ecological areas and sample 99 per cent of the population.
