By Teresa Zapata,\u00a0Tarcila\u00a0Rivera<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every corner of the world is affected by the climate crisis, and we have reached a time when we will need to make drastic decisions and take action to save generations to come. Already, we have seen climate change fuel a rise in natural disasters, forced migration, loss of livelihood, rising food prices, and regional conflicts over scarce resources such as water or fertile land. We\u2019re also witnessing an accelerated loss of biodiversity, the contamination of soils, food and water, and conflicts driven by extractive industries. However, what many overlook is the disproportionately catastrophic loss already endured by the global south, especially in regard to the health and safety of women.<\/p>\n

Countries that are the least responsible for causing climate change are the ones most exposed to and already suffering from its effects, particularly when it comes to food insecurity and nutrient deficiencies, reports show<\/a>.\u00a0For example, the second most food insecure country in the world, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), has the second smallest carbon footprint.\u00a0The Climate and Food Vulnerability Index<\/a> found that the 10 most food-insecure countries in the world generate less than half a ton of CO2 per person. Collectively, they generate just 0.08% of total global CO2.<\/p>\n

Indigenous women, Black women, women from low-income communities, and women from the global south bear a significantly heavier burden from the impacts of climate change because of the historic and continued impacts of inequality; and, because they are more reliant upon natural resources for their survival and\/or live in areas that have poor infrastructure. Globally, women are responsible for half of the world\u2019s food production. In most global south countries, that figure goes up to 80%, with women also serving as the central stewards of seeds and agricultural biodiversity.\u00a0As droughts, floods and other erratic weather events continue to be on the rise, there will be an increased burden on these women holding responsibility for their families\u2019 food water and energy needs.<\/p>\n

And while women are disproportionately\u202fvulnerable to the effects of climate change,\u202ffemale leaders in climate activism receive only 3% of total climate funding today and represent less than a third of those in decision-making roles under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n

Women and girls must be included in the solution. They have long led climate action and environmental movements on the ground and driven stronger outcomes when involved in conservation efforts and natural resource management. In fact, studies<\/a> show that their participation at all levels often results in improved responsiveness to citizens\u2019 needs and cooperation across divided groups.<\/p>\n

We hope a potential turning point could be around the corner triggered by the Generation Equality Forum<\/a>, a global event hosted by UN Women in Paris, France on 30 June \u2013 2 July 2021. To catalyze support for the future of social and environmental sustainability and justice, with\u00a0gender equality\u00a0at its core, the Forum\u2019s Action Coalition on Feminist Action for Climate Justice will push forth a set of actions to facilitate inclusive and tangible progress over the next five years.\u00a0The Coalition\u2019s priority actions include increasing direct access to financing for gender-just climate solutions, in particular for organizations led by women and girls at the grassroots and rural level.\u00a0Funding efforts led by Indigenous women, Black women, women from low-income communities, and women from the global south will also be extremely important, a vision already set forth by the Black Feminist Fund<\/a>, which recently became the first global fund addressing key issues facing black women. The Coalition will also advocate for equal and meaningful participation in decision-making processes at all levels to develop climate responses that prioritize human rights.<\/p>\n

There is a direct relationship between gender equality, women\u2019s empowerment, and climate change. Women, including Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim and Vanessa Nakate, have been at the forefront of climate action and environmental movements for years, and their involvement in conservation efforts and natural resource management has led to significant outcomes.\u00a0A new wave of feminist movements calling for climate and environmental justice has emerged to carry on the work of generations of women activists.\u00a0As the environmental crisis intensifies, it is imperative that we continue to amplify and empower these movements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
