International Women's Day 2022 will be observed on March 8 under the theme “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow”. "This International Women’s Day, 8 March, join UN Women and the world in coming together under the theme “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow”, and call for climate action for women, by women," the United Nations has said.
"Women and girls experience the greatest impacts of the climate crisis as it amplifies existing gender inequalities and puts women’s lives and livelihoods at risk. Across the world, women depend more on, yet have less access to, natural resources, and often bear a disproportionate responsibility for securing food, water, and fuel," it says and adds that women are essential to leading and driving change in climate adaptation, mitigation and solutions.
