Women on the Frontlines: Stories of Climate Action Led By Women

Climate change discussions are often about emissions, finance and sustainable alternatives. However, today’s guests bring in women’s stories; a perspective seldomly included in climate action. Climate change especially affects those who are dependent from natural resources, have little capacity to adapt and are excluded from power. Due to everyday gender dynamics, these characteristics disproportionally apply to women in many countries. To counter this, IDLO’s Nupur Prakash proposes a ‘feminist rule of law approach’ to climate action that takes these gender differences into account, helps women claim their rights and supports gender responsive justice systems. Nupur conversation partner, Jelen Paclarin, from the Women’s Legal and Human Rights Bureau puts many of these recommendations into practice in the Philippines context, where Jelen supports women’s legal rights around natural disasters.
