Why is climate change an issue?
There is growing consensus that the world faces three major crises – climate change, global economic vulnerability and the widening gulf between rich and poor. This is a critical time for the women’s health sector to engage with the global politics that play a determining role in women’s health status. Economic and climatic disasters are inextricably linked, and women are most affected. Improvement to women’s health will not be effected – or effective – without tackling the structural mechanisms that produce and maintain the inequitable distribution of power, prestige and resources between men and women.
