The paper argues that climate change is happening in an increasingly unequal world marked by persistent gender inequalities, and that these inequalities put many poor people, and especially women, on the frontline of harmful climate change impacts while at the same time constraining their ability to take action on climate change. The paper concludes with a series of recommendations on gender equality and women's empowerment in the SDGs, the UNFCCC, and the post-2015 disaster risk reduction framework.
