Gender and Environment



Water Gathering: Women are typically in charge of gathering water in various civilizations. Women are forced to travel further when water shortages brought on by climate change increase their workload and carbon impact.
Food Production: In rural places, women typically grow the majority of the food. Crop damage from climate change might make it more difficult for them to support their family and result in food insecurity.
Sustainable Practices: Although women are more likely than males to embrace eco-friendly behaviors, their influence may be diminished by traditional roles that restrict their access to resources and decision-making authority.
Disaster Response: During environmental disasters, women are commonly in charge of recovery efforts; nevertheless, their demands may be overlooked because they are usually left out of planning and decision-making processes.

Political Participation: Gender equality can enhance sustainability, as evidenced by the superior environmental policies of nations with a higher proportion of women in leadership positions.
Indigenous Wisdom: Indigenous women possess important wisdom regarding sustainable methods. Although individuals frequently encounter obstacles to participation, their involvement in environmental management can improve conservation efforts.
