Why Are Women Key to Climate Action?

Women and girls face disproportionate impacts from climate change, making up the majority of the world's poor and accounting for four out of five displaced people. Yet, women are also essential drivers of climate solutions. Producing up to 80% of food in developing countries, they pioneer sustainable farming practices and preserve invaluable indigenous ecological knowledge. From acting as first responders in environmental disasters to leading global activist movements, women influence 70–80% of sustainable consumer decisions while strengthening political policies and corporate climate governance.
