The G-20 nations on Saturday resolved to increase women’s participation and leadership in climate change mitigation and adaptation, and support gender-responsive solutions to build resilience to the impact of climate change.
The G-20 declaration adopted here accepted the disproportionate impact of climate change on all women and girls, and decided to accelerate climate action with gender equality at its core.
“To this end, we will support and increase women’s participation, partnership, decision-making and leadership in climate change mitigation and adaptation, and disaster risk reduction strategies and policy frameworks on environmental issues, support gender-responsive and environment-resilient solutions, including water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) solutions, to build resilience to the impact of climate change and environmental degradation,” the declaration said.
