Facing a Changing World: Women, Population and Climate

Facing a Changing World: Women, Population and Climate

This publication examines climate change and closely integrated issues, and as well as considering how and when these issues are important, it also discusses who will be most affected and why.

Published by the UNFPA, this ‘State of the World Population’ report finds that members of poor households are especially vulnerable, as many live in rural areas and depend on the land and sea for their livelihoods.

Their scant income provides little security to protect them against threats from changing conditions, and limited access to health services.

An incredibly informative publication for understanding climate change and those who are most at risk from its effects in the future. A.R. 

To access the report, please download from UNFPA.
