The impacts of the climate crisis are not gender-neutral; they exacerbate gender inequalities.
That's why this #COP27 the #GenerationEquality Action Coalition on Feminist Action for Climate Justice, reminds all leaders: without gender equality, there is no climate justice.

Women & girls are doubly affected by climate change - by the crisis itself & by its lasting impact:
⛔ Loss of livelihoods and natural & productive resources
⛔ Increase in gender-based violence
⛔ Increase in unpaid care & domestic work
⛔ Threats to access to health care
