'Gender and the Climate Change Agenda' was launched by WEN
at the House of Commons in 2010. It examines the impacts of
climate change on women in the UK and internationally and
why it is crucial to involve women in climate change
solutions.
Its key messages are that:
-
Globally, women are more vulnerable to the impacts
of climate change due to different and unequal social
roles and status.
-
Women contribute less to climate change, are impacted more
by it, and have less say in decisions about the problem.
-
WEN is campaigning for gender and climate justice.
-
We believe that women need to be involved equally at
all levels in order to achieve climate justice.
