Women are on the frontlines of the climate crisis: farmers sustaining up to 80 percent of food production in many developing countries, indigenous leaders protecting biodiversity, and first responders during climate disasters.

The Gender Snapshot 2024 report indicates that by 2050, climate change may push up to 158 million more women and girls into poverty (16 million more than the total number of men and boys). Even today, 47.8 million more women face food insecurity and hunger than men. Women produce nearly one-third of the world’s food, and FAO data show they make up about 43% of the global agricultural workforce, with even higher levels in regions such as sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. Yet women remain particularly vulnerable to climate impacts due to limited access to land, finance, resources, and decision-making power. Strengthening women’s leadership in shaping climate policies is therefore crucial, yet they continue to be underrepresented in national and international decision-making processes

The initiative ‘Stop the Pushback on Women’s Rights’

Started as a conversation among a small group of women within the Geneva Global Health Hub (G2H2), the collective has grown and remains open to include the voices of women from around the world, united in response to the alarming resurgence of attacks on all women’s rights, transcending borders and affiliations. G2H2 continues to serve as a vital facilitator within Geneva’s multilateral landscape.
