Gender Environment Hub
The gender-climate-environment nexus highlights the complex links between gender inequalities and the impacts of climate and environmental change. With women, girls, gender-diverse and traditionally marginalised groups disproportionately affected due to existing social and economic disparities, this hub explores how these interconnected challenges affect communities globally. We showcase women’s vital roles in climate action and emphasise the importance of gender equality for effective climate-environment solutions.
