Gendered Realities of Climate Change
This chapter examines the disproportionate impact of climate change on women, especially in the Global South, while highlighting their minimal contribution to the crisis.

The conversation calls for the inclusion of women's perspectives in climate discussions to create equitable solutions and highlights the need for a shift in emissions policies to address these disparities.
