Women’s rights resource list

Climate change puts women around the globe at increased risk of displacement, unintended pregnancies resulting from forced climate migration, poverty, and gender-based violence. Women are more likely to be responsible for collecting firewood, rainwater, producing food, and child care, which could all be negatively impacted by climate change.

People who believe that women should be submissive, instead of equitable, are more likely to deny climate change and condone the exploitation of the natural world. Raising awareness and working to end sexism is closely connected to environmental justice and the protection of the natural world.
