Sem igualdade e inclusão, um futuro sustentável mantém-se fora de alcance
Summary
A statement by the Climate Policy Initiative on International Women's Day highlighting the intersection of gender inequality and the climate crisis, emphasizing that women are both disproportionately affected by climate change and essential leaders for sustainable solutions.
Key insights
- Women and girls are affected differently by climate change due to existing gender norms and discrimination. They are disproportionately responsible for family food security in several regions, facing increased vulnerability because of their dependence on natural resources and limited access to and control over those resources, especially as climate change reduces agricultural productivity and increases water scarcity and food prices.
- Women, particularly indigenous women, are critical agents of change and leaders in climate adaptation and mitigation. Their participation in decision-making leads to more holistic, efficient, and inclusive climate actions, and they play a central role in managing natural resources at domestic and community levels.
- Achieving a sustainable future requires increasing the representation of women in leadership and decision-making roles. Climate action and development projects must integrate gender and its intersections, centering the experiences of those most impacted by the crisis.
