International Women\u2019s Day comes at a time when it\u2019s\u00a0never been\u00a0more important\u00a0to support, educate and empower women to fight the catastrophic unfolding of climate change.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the role of women and girls\u00a0in local and global environment and climate movements is\u00a0an\u00a0important\u00a0part of\u00a0understanding\u00a0their situation and means of empowering them,\u00a0but also, to\u00a0realise\u00a0the transformation they can make if supported.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The planet is under threat. 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>\n

Still need\u00a0convincing?\u00a0Here are 6 reasons why we need to empower women to\u00a0fight\u00a0climate change.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0The 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<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Climate 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<\/p>\n

RELATED: WHY WE\u2019RE BECOMING CLIMATE POSITIVE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Women 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<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Despite 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<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Restricted land rights, lack of access to financial resources, training and technology, and limited access to political decision-making spheres often prevent women from playing a full role in tackling climate change and other environmental challenges.\u00a0As part of this lack of power, women are often constrained in their response to sudden onset disasters such as floods and cyclones, so consequently, women and children are 14 times more likely to die than men during natural disasters\u00a0caused by climate change.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0As early adopters of new agricultural techniques, first responders in crises, entrepreneurs of green energy, or decision-makers at home, women are agents of change who must equally be part of the solution towards a sustainable\u00a0future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
