How can we fix that? The climate crisis doesn\u2019t affect everyone equally &#8211; women and girls bear the brunt of the suffering, largely because they make up the majority of the world\u2019s poor. In rural areas, it is women and girls often responsible for securing water, food, and firewood for their families. During drought and floods, women are forced to work harder and walk further.<\/p>\n<p>As climate change exacerbates conflicts, inequalities and vulnerabilities, women also face increased risks of gender-based violence. When extreme weather hits, women and children are 14 times more likely to die than men, and an estimated four out of five people displaced by the impacts of climate change are women and girls. \u201cPut simply: climate change is sexist,\u201d Helen Pankhurst, senior advisor on gender equality at CARE International UK tells Euronews Green. \u201cIt\u2019s a feminist issue which threatens the fundamental rights of women and girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the labour burden climate changes places on women, they are on the ground \u201cleading the charge when it comes to grassroots campaigning and inspiring change,\u201d according to Pankhurst. \u201cThey\u2019re pulling together their communities and showing leadership in coming up with solutions, demonstrating resilience and delivering hope for a better future,\u201d she says. \u201cThey are also leading in civil society, fighting back against policies which are doing irreparable harm. There is a groundswell of women standing up and saying things must change; they\u2019re just not in seats of political power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is deeply frustrating that the women and girls whose lives are so disproportionately affected are not being heard on the global stage,\u201d says Pankhurst. \u201cClimate and gender justice go hand in hand; you can\u2019t have one without the other.\u201d Only eight out of 78 world leaders who participated in the most recent COP29 were women. Although delegations at the UN climate conference are consistently increasing in numbers, women\u2019s representation has stagnated and even decreased.<\/p>\n<p>Bianca Pitt, co-founder of SHE Changes Climate, a campaign to get women equally represented at international climate negotiations and beyond, tells Euronews why it is vital women be included in climate talks and negotiations. \u201cWhen women suffer, everyone suffers,\u201d she says. \u201cIt has a knock-on effect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If women &#8211; ideally from economically marginalised backgrounds &#8211; aren\u2019t included in decision making about climate change, then women\u2019s lived experiences and perspectives aren\u2019t being heard. \u201cIf we only have a select group of people making decisions, the decisions will be incomplete &#8211; they won\u2019t have the desired outcome,\u201d she adds. \u201cThe majority of decisions are made by men for men and women. That creates a blind spot because we can only make decisions based on our own lived experience in the peer group we are in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pitt said it isn\u2019t \u201cfair\u201d that women aren\u2019t included in the most important discussions being had about our planet, but it isn\u2019t just about fairness \u2013 it\u2019s about what is going to produce the best outcomes. When decision-making processes incorporate the perspectives of men and women, solutions are more comprehensive and robust.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/03\/07\/climate-change-is-sexist-we-need-more-women-leading-the-crisis-response-experts-say\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/03\/07\/climate-change-is-sexist-we-need-more-women-leading-the-crisis-response-experts-say\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/climate-change-is-sexist-we-need-more-women-leading-the-crisis-response-experts-say\/\">\u2018Climate change is sexist\u2019: We need more women leading the crisis response, experts say<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[6548,575,568,18170],"class_list":["post-138118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-climate-summit","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-women","tag-world-leaders"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138118\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
