The Unjust Climate: Bridging the Gap for Women in Agriculture

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)'s new report – The unjust climate. Measuring the impact of climate change on the poor, women, and youth – demonstrates how climate stressors widen the income gap among rural people along the lines of class, gender, and age. By combining socioeconomic data from over 950 million rural people across 24 countries with over 70 years of climate data, this report reveals how climate change has adversely impacted female-headed households' livelihoods to a greater degree than male-headed households. Despite the pronounced and disproportionate impacts of climate change on women, these issues remain barely visible in national climate policies and associated climate financing. There is an urgent need to increase awareness of these disparate climate impacts and to direct additional resources towards women's empowerment and women farmers' resilience. Please join the CSIS Global Food and Water Security Program on Friday, March 8 at 11:00AM EST to discuss the unequal impacts of climate change on rural women in agriculture and the critical investments needed to address these disparities. CSIS is honored to welcome Deputy Director Lauren Phillips and Senior Economist Nicholas Sitko from FAO’s Rural Transformation and Gender Equality for opening remarks, followed by keynote remarks from USDA's Xochitl Torres Small, a panel discussion between USAID's Ann Vaughan and U.S. Department of State's Christina Chan, and concluding remarks from FAO’s Chief Economist Máximo Torero. Following the event there will be an in-person reception with light refreshments. This event is made possible through the generous support of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. --------------------------------------------- A nonpartisan institution, CSIS is the top national security think tank in the world.
