Climate change impacts people in different ways depending on who they are and how their identify influences their position in society. 🔷 People living with disabilities are more likely to be negatively affected during floods 🔷 During storms, men are often actively helping others, putting them more at risk 🔷 Small-scale farmers are negatively impacted by drought due to the loss of plants and animals 🔷 Fisherwomen, with less access to boats, equipment and cash, are more impacted by warming oceans causing declining fish stocks Recent evidence shows that Nature-based Solutions for adaptation are more effective when delivered in a gender-responsive and socially inclusive manner. Our new booklet provides practical tips on how to recognize differences in needs and priorities to ensure that everyone can benefit from NbS for adaptation.

Did you know the global transport sector is the second-fastest-growing source of GHG emissions? 🚗💨 Next-generation #NDCs offer a key opportunity to reshape transportation by setting ambitious, context-specific targets. Governments need to aim for fossil fuel-free land transport and energy usage reductions to help meet 2030 net-zero goals. This transition is critical for human health, safety, and the planet. Learn how transport in NDCs can drive climate progress from WRI Climate: https://bit.ly/4gGWyGd
