Gender Equality in Climate Policy

Gender equality in climate policy means ensuring that both women and men have equal opportunities to participate in decision-making about climate-related issues and that their needs and perspectives are considered. This approach recognizes that climate change impacts men and women differently. By promoting gender equality, policies can be more effective, as women often play key roles in managing natural resources and are disproportionately affected by climate impacts. Inclusive policies can lead to better outcomes for communities and the environment, as diverse perspectives foster innovative solutions to the challenges posed by climate change.
