Abstract: The climate crisis is an unequivocal threat to human wellbeing. However, not all human beings are
equally affected. With pre-existing gender inequalities compounding their vulnerabilities, women and
girls are among the worst impacted.
Climate change is contributing to humanitarian crises and will continue to increase displacement across
regions. Those already displaced are disproportionately exposed to climate and environmental risks, 1
and often lack the means for sustainable, climate risk-informed solutions to their displacement. As
women and children make up the overwhelming majority of displaced population due to conflict, they
often experience ruinous impacts brought on by climate change.
It is crucial to prioritize women’s and girl’s empowerment when addressing protection risks, including
gender-based violence, in the context of displacement and climate change. Adopting a gender lens
helps to identify and respond to specific risks and needs, and it highlights the essential roles women can
take on in leading sustainable transformations.
