Women7 Summit 2022 | Panel Discussion “Developing gender-sensitive responses to the climate crisis”

The climate crisis affects the rights of people of all genders and undermines efforts to combat poverty and inequality. As some of the largest carbon emitters, G7 countries must demonstrate leadership in implementing the Paris Agreement and mobilizing climate finance that supports gender justice and human rights. Women7 continues to urge G7 leaders to acknowledge that women, girls, and gender-diverse people are critical agents of change in developing effective mitigation and adaptation responses.
