    Overview
    Présentation

    We live in a deeply unequal world, where 70% of the poorest people are women. Because they are poorer and therefore more vulnerable, and victims of discriminatory social labelling, women are more affected by the devastating consequences of climate change and biodiversity loss. This is a disturbing finding, especially 
    as women are major players in the ecological transition but are less involved than men in environmental 
    and climate decisions.
