Despite comprising 49.6 percent of the global population, women comprised only 34 percent of the delegates at the COP28 UN Climate Change Conference. Additionally, a significant lack of gender-disaggregated data on the economic and social effects of climate change limits our ability to understand the impact of climate change on women specifically. Globally, involvement by women in conversations surrounding climate change is limited, despite an increasing number of findings that climate change disproportionately impacts them. Women’s representation facilitates stronger gender-sensitive action; therefore, the group’s underrepresentation in climate change conversations and decisions limits our ability to fight climate change in a gender-sensitive way.
