Gender inequality coupled with the climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges of our time. It poses threats to ways of life, livelihoods, health, safety and security for women and girls around the world.
It is important to acknowledge that the climate crisis is not “gender neutral”. Across the world, women depend more on, yet have less access to, natural resources. In many regions, women bear a disproportionate responsibility for securing food, water, and fuel. Agriculture is the most important employment sector for women in low- and lower-middle income countries. During periods of drought and erratic rainfall, women, as agricultural workers and primary procurers, work harder to secure income and resources for their families. This puts added pressure on girls, who often have to leave school to help their mothers manage the increased burden.
Climate change is a “threat multiplier”, meaning it escalates social, political and economic tensions in fragile and conflict-affected settings. As climate change drives conflict across the world, women and girls face increased vulnerabilities to all forms of gender-based violence, including conflict-related sexual violence, human trafficking, child marriage, and other forms of violence.
Even though climate change increases risks for women around the world, women in poorer countries are faced with more severe scenarios.

Comentário: A afirmação está correta, pois o texto destaca que a crise climática agrava ainda mais as desigualdades de gênero, especialmente em países mais pobres. Mulheres nessas regiões enfrentam cenários mais severos devido à sua dependência de recursos naturais e à sua responsabilidade em garantir alimentos, água e combustível para suas famílias. Durante períodos de estresse climático, como secas, elas são pressionadas a trabalhar mais para sustentar suas famílias, o que pode levar à evasão escolar de meninas e aumentar sua vulnerabilidade a diversas formas de violência. Portanto, a interação entre desigualdade de gênero e mudança climática é crítica, afetando mais intensamente aquelas em contextos de menor desenvolvimento econômico.
