Gender and the Climate Change Agenda

'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.
