We tackle the unique challenges that women face due to climate change by promoting gender-inclusive climate action. We advocate for investments that prioritize gender equality, recognizing that gender inequality is a root cause of poverty, which is further exacerbated by climate change. Women, often responsible for sustaining their families, face additional pressures in adverse conditions like droughts, threatening their prospects for a better life. This dual burden of climate change and gender inequality presents a significant barrier to progress.
Involving both men and women equally in decision-making processes leads to more sustainable climate action. WWCCN works to sensitize both genders about their complementary roles in addressing these challenges. The better we understand how gender dynamics shape vulnerability to climate change, the more effectively we can target groups and interventions.
