Gender-environment Nexus

The differentiated impacts of climate change on men and women are closely linked to factors leading to gender inequalities and violence. Impacts such as division of labor, domestic responsibilities, control and access to resources result from scarcity thereof. When women have rights to productive economic resources such as land, natural resources and biodiversity, access to food, energy, water and sanitation, their well-being steer equalities that lead to wholesome robust health for all.
