Our research on women and climate
“No climate justice without gender justice!” was a rallying call to action at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in December 2007.
More than ten years later, this slogan underscores the urgent need to integrate a gender perspective and amplify women’s leadership in climate action.
Women4Climate’s research and resources aimed to illuminate and deepen our understanding of:
- the interplay between gendered climate impacts in the city context
- urban policy solutions that address gendered impacts
- the critical role of women in urban climate action
