Climate Change Disproportionately Affects Women, Calls for Global Gender Inclusion
Waterways, crucial for agriculture, electricity, travel, and leisure, face climate challenges that disproportionately affect women. Global climate justice demands inclusion and empowerment of marginalized groups, with women's leadership being vital.
Climate change impacts regions and communities least responsible for greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating environmental injustices. Women, already vulnerable to disasters, bear a heavy climate burden, with threats to livelihoods, rights, health, and safety. Despite progress in countries like Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark, gender inequalities persist, hindering climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience. Women's underrepresentation in UN climate talks and IPCC assessments illustrates this. National Meteorological and Hydrological Services must enhance women's participation in their policies and decision-making.
Addressing climate change requires a holistic approach that includes gender diversity, equity, and inclusion. Empowering women is crucial for effective climate action and resilience. Despite challenges, progress is possible, as seen in some European nations. Collaboration and inclusive policies are key to protecting and empowering marginalized populations worldwide.
