For Women Farmers Climate Change Has Yielded Greater Disparity For many women, there is a significant increase in work, limitations for development opportunities, increased poverty, and a decline in personal safety, autonomy and decision‐making power. when climate variability results in crop loss, women have fewer coping strategies. Key messages: women farmers are less able to adapt to climate change than men as they have less access to information, technology and decision making and greater workloads. women need to be supported to adopt climate adaptation and mitigation strategies if we are to meet the 2°c target for warming set by the united nations framework convention.
For Women Farmers Climate Change Has Yielded Greater Disparity One crucial benefit has been helping women farmers to adapt their agricultural practices to the changing climate. as weather patterns alter, new plant pests and diseases emerge. the clinics help women address these challenges. they share advice on climate smart farming approaches. 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 depend more on, yet have less access to, natural resources. Variations in extreme weather events due to climate change can negatively impact crop yields, decreasing income and food insecurity for women and their families. a report from the united nations found that women are less likely than men to see their work demands decrease during periods of extreme heat. Livelihood diversification is an important climate change adaptation technique, but women have fewer opportunities for it compared to men (loison 2019). male outmigration as a response to climate change impacts is a well documented phenomenon (slavchevska et al. 2016). however, this often leads to a disproportionate increase in women's workload.

But this means women are disproportionately affected climate change; closing this gender gap could reduce food insecurity for up to 45 million people a year. Fao has also produced a groundbreaking report, the unjust climate. measuring the impacts of climate change on rural poor, women, and youth, which highlights the disproportionate impact of climate change on women and the barrier it poses towards achieving sdg 5. for example, female headed households experience annual average income losses of 8. The research emphasizes the need for policies that empower women farmers and bridge the aspiration divide. as climate change disproportionately impacts women in agriculture, integrating gendered perspectives into resilience strategies becomes increasingly important. Collective action can support women in agrifood systems, and the hope—in the face of destabilizing climate change—is that women’s collective action can increase their much needed resilience. from our review, we present insights and lessons for practitioners using collective action to increase women’s resilience.
