Abstract
Although climate change affects everyone, it has a greater impact on women, indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities, the poor and youth, even though they con-tribute the least to the phenomenon of climate change (e.g. in terms of emissions of greenhouse gases). Achieving social equity not only leads to increased effectiveness and efficiency of funding and scaling ac-tions; it is also a question of social justice.
