dc.description.abstractClimate change tends to exacerbate existing gender inequalities so that women tend to face greater negative impacts than men. Policies and practices should be careful not to consolidate or extend these inequalities. This brief provides information with regards to climate change impacts linked to gender. These are areas where women take primary responsibility and experience severe negative impacts, such as decreasing availability of clean water; decreasing agricultural production; decreasing access to crop residues and biomass for energy; and increasing risk of famine.en
