Abstract

Climate change, which is powered by emissions from fossil fuels, deforestation, and agriculture, results in rising temperatures, harsh weather, and resource shortages. These raise the risk of disease, famine, and eviction. Gender discrepancies are made worse in low-income communities, where women and girls endure a disproportionate share of the burden due to caregiving responsibilities and social inequities. To mitigate this, inclusive policies that promote women, renewable energy sources, and global shifts toward sustainable practices are necessary. This study examines the gendered impacts of disasters, drawing on literature from 2007 to 2023. Drawing on a diverse range of scholarly works, primary research, and media sources, it provides a thorough examination of how disasters disproportionately affect women.
