Climate Change and Gender
Climate change does not affect everyone in the same way. Gender shapes who is exposed to climate shocks, who bears their costs, and who is able to adapt.
Population Council Kenya examines the intersections of gender equality and climate change, addressing critical evidence gaps and generating insights that can strengthen policy, programmes and practice. Our research looks at how climate and environmental risks affect vulnerable populations and health systems, and evaluates the interventions that build resilience for women, girls and their communities.
