Climate change impacts are gendered. Many UN and international conferences have constantly highlighted women and
their work environment relationships over time and have concluded that environmental change would bring adverse
effect on women’s livelihood, probably leading to their high stake in adaptation responses to climate change. As it is
clear, gender is a cross-cutting issue for different sectors in health, agriculture, livestock, education, etc. and climate
change is no exception. Climate change is expected to cause increased crop losses, widespread food and water insecurity, malnourishment and negative health impacts. Women are much more affected and susceptible to severe malnourishment, particularly in low-income groups.
