Since 2019, the UN estimates about 648 million people globally were living in extreme poverty, a number that has only grown since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, women have lost their livelihoods at a higher rate than men, and continue to bear a larger burden of unpaid care work.
The climate crisis acts as a threat multiplier, exacerbating vulnerabilities.
Through a conversation with practitioners and policy makers, we explored how women’s solidarity and collaborative action can be transformative in building resilience against climate change.
