"When we think of climate and environmental issues such as climate-linked
disasters or biodiversity loss, we don’t tend to think about gender. At first
glance, it may seem irrelevant.
But a growing body of evidence demonstrates women and gender-diverse people are
disproportionately vulnerable to the changing climate and the consequences it
brings.
Women are 14 times more likely to die in a climate change-related disaster than
men. Women represent 80% of people displaced by extreme weather.
Although extreme weather events such as fires and floods might appear to affect
everyone equally, the evidence shows crises exploit existing social faultlines.
This means people who are already socially marginalised suffer exacerbated
impacts."
