The climate emergency demands urgent and gender-transformative action. Structural and systemic gender inequalities shape the climate emergency. Unequal participation in formal economies and decision-making processes, limited access to finance and information, and greater domestic responsibilities, compounds gender inequalities. Women, youth and faith communities play a significant role in driving climate action and are critical stakeholders to include in climate-related development finance. Bringing forward concrete recommendations, this Side Event will advocate for the power of gender-responsive finance to turn words into action.
