Why are women more affected by climate change?
The impacts of climate change are already being felt around the world. Research shows that some groups are disproportionately affected. 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?
Presenter Sophie Eastaugh is joined by:
Dr. Mayesha Alam, Vice President of Research at FP Analytics, senior fellow at the United Nations University Centre for Policy Research, and professor at Johns Hopkins University
Verania Chao, Programme Specialist in Climate Change, Gender Equality and Inclusion at UNDP
Sahar Habib Ghazi, on-the-ground reporter in Sindh province, Pakistan
Producers: Ben Cooper and Matt Toulson
Series Producer: Alex Lewis
Editor: China Collins
Sound engineer: Tom Brignell
Production Coordinators: Debbie Richford and Sophie Hill
