Researchers emphasize the urgent need for countries to address gender-specific risks in climate strategies. Published in ‘Lancet Planetary Health’, the study led by Cambridge University highlights how climate change disproportionately affects women, girls, and non-binary individuals, exacerbating systemic inequalities and health risks. The report calls for women’s voices to be integral in climate discussions, citing the need to improve representation at global forums like COP28. It also warns that without addressing these disparities, existing social and health injustices are likely to persist, undermining effective climate action.
