Climate change is disproportionately affecting women and girls, especially in regions where women rely on work that is climate sensitive—such as agriculture and manual labor. Unequal access to education, employment, ownership, and decision-making opportunities is further widening the gender gap, rendering women more vulnerable and strapped for resources. Empowering women and improving their access to resources can have far-reaching effects, enhancing household and community resilience and advancing global sustainable development goals. Experts discuss how to power forward initiatives that meet the challenges of adapting to climate change and improving gender equality.
