Gender and Climate Justice

Gender and climate justice: the good practices to deal with climate change

11:30 – 13:00, Tuesday, November 8th 2016,  

Pacific Room, Marrakech

Gender and climate change are deeply linked. Indeed, facing climate change, women are more vulnerable as they are often more concerned by poverty than their counterparts for example. Despite this differentiated impact between men and women in front of climate change and natural disasters, women are being part of the struggle against global warming and implement projects supporting sustainable development.
