Women are more likely to be impacted by climate change around the globe, and in many countries show more commitment to climate action than men. Women and children are more likely to die in extreme weather events, comprising 80% of the people displaced by the impacts of climate change. Women in developing countries also produce up to 80% of food, have less access to productive farming resources and are often first responders in emergencies. Yet they are often ignored. How do we build coalitions between genders to speed climate action? How do we amplify the voices of women to make sure that the people most impacted by climate change are part of the decision-making process? And what can be done to reduce the impacts of climate change on women and girls?
