So, it is imperative that we understand the impact of climate change on women, as well as the importance of their actions in addressing its effects. Cultural boundariesLack of authority, independence, and decision-making power limit women’s ability to adapt to climate change. Cultural boundaries on mobility can hinder women’s access to information and services. Women who have lost attire in disasters may be less likely to access food and medical aid because they are unable to enter public areas. In the end, to fight climate change effectively and from all sides, the empowerment of women is essential.
