Women already face many socioeconomic, cultural, and political inequities, with those living in areas heavily impacted by natural disasters related to climate change, such as floods, drought, and coastal erosion, enduring even worse outcomes. So what can be done to address this?

Verania Chao, Programme Specialist in Climate Change, Gender Equality and Inclusion at UNDP
