What are the challenges faced by women in adapting to climate change ?
Women face unique challenges in adapting to climate change related to their roles as caregivers, farmers, and community members, limited access to resources and decision-making power. Key challenges include limited access to education, financial resources, land and property rights; caregiving responsibilities such as water collection and childcare; limited participation in decision-making processes due to political underrepresentation and cultural norms; and impacts on livelihoods through changes in agriculture, income generation, and migration. Addressing these challenges requires a gender-sensitive approach to climate change adaptation that provides education, improves access to resources, and supports women's roles.
