Climate change disproportionately affects women and girls, exacerbating existing gender inequalities and increasing vulnerabilities during climate-related shocks and stresses. Structural barriers, discriminatory gender norms, unequal access to resources and services, and limited participation in decision-making processes place women and girls at heightened risk in the context of climate change and disasters. Women and girls often face unequal access to climate information, early warning systems, and recovery support, while also carrying disproportionate caregiving responsibilities during crises.
Certain groups, including adolescent girls, women and girls with disabilities, Indigenous populations, migrant communities, and those living in poverty, may experience compounded risks due to intersecting forms of discrimination and exclusion. At the same time, women and girls are critical agents of change and play a central role in strengthening climate resilience, adaptation, and community recovery efforts.
UNICEF’s Strategic Plan 2026–2029, Gender Equality Action Plan (2026–2039), and Sustainability and Climate Change Action Plan (2023-2030) emphasize the importance of integrating gender equality and adolescent-responsive approaches across climate and resilience programming. UNICEF’s programming increasingly recognizes that climate action must move beyond gender-responsive approaches toward gender-responsive programming that addresses unequal power relations, harmful social norms, and systemic barriers limiting women’s and girls’ participation, leadership, and access to opportunities.
