From human-caused greenhouse gas emissions to the overexploitation of the earth\u2019s natural resources, unsustainable production and consumption patterns pose a risk to all of humanity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Still need\u00a0convincing?\u00a0Here are 6 reasons why we need to empower women to\u00a0fight\u00a0climate change.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>The important contributions of women as decision makers, stakeholders, educators,\u00a0carers\u00a0and experts across sectors\u00a0at all levels can lead to successful, long-term solutions to climate change. If we encourage them to participate in finding the solutions at all levels, we\u2019ll be in a vastly better place.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li>Climate change is impacting women and men differently, with women likely to bear the greater burden in situations of poverty.\u00a0Across societies,\u00a0the impacts of climate change affect women and men differently\u00a0and this\u00a0has a\u00a0heightened impact on poor and vulnerable communities,\u00a0as\u00a070% of the world\u2019s\u00a0impoverished\u00a0are women.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li>Women are often responsible for gathering and producing food, collecting water and sourcing fuel for heating and cooking. With climate change, these tasks are becoming more difficult. Extreme weather events such as droughts and floods have a greater impact on the poor and most vulnerable.\u00a0Plus, women are more dependent\u00a0on natural resources that are threatened by climate change\u00a0for their livelihoods.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li>Despite women being disproportionately affected by climate change, they play a crucial role in climate change adaptation and mitigation. Women have the knowledge and understanding of what is needed to adapt to changing environmental conditions and to come up with practical solutions.\u00a0Unleashing the knowledge and capability of women represents an important opportunity to craft effective climate change solutions for the benefit of all.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p><strong>This is an excerpt from an article by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/author\/susanne-etti\/\">Susanne Etti<\/a>, originally published by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/6-reasons-we-need-to-empower-women-to-fight-climate-change\/\">Intrepid Travel.<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The planet is being threatened by greenhouse gas emissions, overexploitation of the natural resources and unsustainable patterns of production and consumption.
