Climate change and gender

Climate Change and Gender is a topic that focuses on how gender can be related to the effects of climate change. Climate change is when the average weather patterns of an area change over time, like more hot days, more rain, more severe storms, etc. Gender is the different roles that men and women have in society.

Climate change affects men and women differently. Women often rely more heavily on natural resources to get the things they need, like firewood to cook, so when those resources become less available due to climate change, it makes it harder for women. Women will also have to work harder to find new ways to make money when their land or crops are affected. In some places, women also take on a lot of the responsibility for taking care of their family and children, and climate change can make it harder for women to do this if they have to spend more time and energy finding resources to provide for their families.

Climate change also affects men in different ways. For example, if seas rise due to climate change, it could cause more flooding and natural disasters, which could put men in danger when they go out to work or provide for their families. Men may also need to find new jobs or ways to make money if the land or crops they usually rely on are no longer available due to climate change.

Both men and women can be affected by climate change, but because of their different roles in society, it can be harder for women. That’s why it’s important to think about how climate change affects both genders when working on ways to solve the problem.
