Women are more concerned about climate change and more willing to act than men. Let's get into it with some facts ⤵ In 2023, a Euronews poll found women were more likely to say the fight against climate change was a priority compared to men (55% vs 49%). A separate analysis of more than 44,000 people concluded that women report greater concern about climate change than men, while an International Monetary Fund survey of 28 countries found that women are more concerned about climate change and report a higher personal willingness to change their behaviour. Moreover, a European Social Survey found 63% of women agreed that limiting their energy use reduces greenhouse gas emissions, compared to just 36% of men. 🍃 This pattern is repeated when it comes to protecting the environment: More women than men agree that it is important to care for nature and the environment. So when you cast your ballot 🗳 this June at the #EUElections, make sure you support leaders committed to advancing climate action and policies that protect the planet. Use your vote or others will decide for you. ❝ Here are some inspired words from women leaders across the EU, as you prepare for the elections.
