The climate crisis threatens the chances of gender equality being achieved in the countries most vulnerable to global heating, the UN has said.
As Cop28 opens in Dubai, UNFPA, the UN’s reproductive and maternal health agency, released data showing that the 14 countries most at risk from the effects of the climate crisis are also those where women and girls are more likely to die in childbirth, marry early, experience gender-based violence or be displaced by disaster.
“The climate crisis affects everybody but there are subgroups least able to adapt,” said Angela Baschieri, UNFPA’s technical lead on climate action. “It puts pressure on the most impoverished and further drives existing inequality.”
Disasters, such as floods or cyclones, disproportionately affect women by disrupting sexual and reproductive health services, Baschieri said, pointing to South Sudan, which has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world – 1,223 deaths for every 100,000 live births – and is among the countries most affected by global heating.
Health systems that can withstand climate shocks and continue providing sexual and reproductive healthcare are vital for the wellbeing of women and girls, she added. However, only a third of national climate action plans mention them.
As well as decreasing women’s access to medical care, disasters can exacerbate gender-based violence.
“We have seen an increase in gender-based violence during the recent floods in Pakistan and the droughts in Uganda,” said Bridget Burns, the director of the Women’s Environment and Development Organization (Wedo).

Are those freeloading, third worlders still hanging around the UN throwing tantrums about everything? When are we going to run them off?
To all nations, everything coming out of the mouth of the U.N. should be dismissed 24/7/365.
In the USA and much of the western world, men and boys are being kicked to the curb. They are the victims in those nations.
The terrifying reality is that nations are governing on made up science on just about every aspect of life. Food, energy, sexual reproduction, climate, diseases, families, finance, etc.... There is no basis of fact upon which to establish these governing principles. Just made up malarkey.
Sounds like someone is making up a reason why they should be given more money.
Equality is a Marxist, wind-chasing squishy objective that, by design, can never, ever be achieved.
The saying that comes to mind “you couldn’t make this stuff up”, but that’s exactly what they’re doing. Mark Twain used to say that the difference between fact and fiction is that fiction has to be plausible, but Democrats have proved him wrong.
They do have a valid point. If it gets too hot, who will want to go to the top of a tall building to throw homosexuals off?
Just imagine how high those turdworlders keep the heat at the UN building.
Idiot equality is now threatened by global warming/cooling? ROTFL! Geez. I thought Trump and the JaySixers already threatened it.
These assholes never stop.
That’s true. I guess I have to agree. :o)
But in the end it all comes down to each lobbying arm being united in on one common goal: the destruction of our western culture.
“where women and girls are more likely to die in childbirth,”
I’m trying to unpack this claim. Are women and girls the ones giving birth or the ones being born? Is there an assertion that men and boys can give birth and men and boys also die during childbirth?
My brain hurts.
EC
Who is going to pay all their taxes after they destroy all the jobs?
And racism. Don’t forget the racial climate crisis. They just combine words at this point.
Rampant sexual perversion is the sign that your civilization is in the final stages of collapse. When it gets to the point where perversion is forced into society by the govt, the collapse is irreversible. I hope you are all prepared.
Two stupid “goals” (AKA money laundering scams) in conflict.
Ahh, color me sympathetic.
