Women are overrepresented in sectors like agriculture, which are increasingly at risk from changing weather patterns. Because women tend to take care of household chores like cooking – which in many developing countries still uses outdated, air-polluting stoves – they are facing higher health risks. And as resources become scarcer after climate-related weather shocks, women and children are vulnerable to increased gender-based violence in post-disaster settings. What's worse, women are also often cut off from the growth opportunities in the green economy as gender-based discrimination prevent them from accessing new jobs in emerging climate-friendly sectors of economy.
