Abstract

Women are more likely than men to be affected by environmental problems due to their social roles and more impoverished status in many countries. Coping with the effects of ecological crisis and climate change and the damage from extreme weather events such as storms, floods, and cyclones tends to fall on women who hold together families and households. Women are more vulnerable than men to the impacts of climate change, mainly because they represent the majority of the world’s poor and are proportionally more dependent on threatened natural resources. Thus, as valuable members of society, women deserve to participate equally in public life, where their participation generates more effective, equitable, and sustainable outcomes.
