Climate change and gender equality are inextricably linked. On the one hand, traditional gender roles unbalance the impact of climate change on men and women. They make women more vulnerable to it: Women and girls are those who carry a heavier workload. They are the first whose health is impaired and who must refrain from education in times of crisis. And it is women who often cannot escape a changing environment. But women are not only victims. They are also part of the solution. They are the changemakers and innovators in society: They often decide on the daily use of resources, play a key role in agriculture and land conservation, and are early adopters of new techniques. That's why: Climate needs Equality! - Climate Change Cannot Be Solved Without Women!
