Most regions in the world are suffering the effects of human-induced climate change. Natural disasters such as droughts, landslides, floods and hurricanes, have increased. People in poverty commonly face higher risk and greater burdens from the impacts of climate change. And the majority of the world's poor are women. Women's unequal participation often prevents them from fully contributing to climate-related planning, policy-making and implementation.
