Over the past decades, there has been increasing sensibility around the disproportionate effects of the climate crisis on members of already disadvantaged and marginalized groups. An important factor to consider here is gender: existing gender roles and inequalities dictate how people experience and are affected by climate change in almost all areas of life. In turn, the effects of climate change and natural disasters can exacerbate already existing problems and inequalities. Exploring and addressing the interaction between climate change and gender is therefore crucial for addressing the climate crisis and protecting vulnerable groups from its consequences. Our talk will focus on this issue, featuring the perspectives of multiple experts, followed by an open Q&A session and a free apéro.
