Women and Climate Change

Women and climate change intersect significantly, as women often bear the brunt of environmental challenges due to their roles in households and communities, particularly in developing regions. Historical factors, such as gender inequality and limited access to resources, exacerbate their vulnerability. However, women are also vital agents of change; they play key roles in sustainable practices, community resilience, and policy advocacy. By understanding their unique contributions and challenges in the context of climate issues, we can better appreciate the importance of gender-inclusive approaches to climate action, recognizing that empowering women is essential for effective solutions to global environmental crises.
