Enhancing Women-focused Investments in Climate and Disaster Resilience

Abstract

Women play an important roles for leading actions to strengthen resilience to disaster and climate-related chocks and stresses, especially at the local level. Such actions create transformational change by challenging existing standards and paradigms and concur with the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. However, investments in such actions remain limited.
