Women’s increased participation in climate change adaptation is crucial for a more sustainable world. Despite this, women are severely underrepresented in decisions on climate change solutions.

The lack of fair representation of women in climate change adaptation results in responses that do not address the unique needs of the diverse groups of people affected by climate change.
