Gender and Climate Nexus

The Gender and Climate Nexus

Empowering communities, fostering equality, and building resilience.

GENDER AND CLIMATE NEXUS

Why the Gender and Climate Nexus Matters

Climate change disproportionately affects women and marginalized groups, intensifying vulnerabilities and widening inequalities. Women, especially in rural areas, are often frontline responders to climate impacts but lack access to resources, decision-making, and support systems.

  • Key Insight: 70% of people living in poverty are women, who are more exposed to climate risks.
  • Our approach ensures that gender equity and climate resilience are embedded in solutions that create lasting impact
