#SheLeadsInCrisis Campaign Brief
Putting gender justice at the center of the global response to the climate crisis
Gender inequalities – as far removed as they may seem from a problem that started with greenhouse gas emissions – are deeply related to the unequally distributed causes and impacts of climate change on people living in poverty. Climate change impacts are different based on one’s gender.
Building on our reputation as a leader in gender-just humanitarian and climate action, over the next three years CARE will encourage and equip its offices and partners around the world to participate in meaningful, coordinated, and consistent actions pushing for more ambitious and gender-just solutions to the climate crisis and humanitarian emergencies at global, regional and national levels under the advocacy campaign #SheLeadsInCrisis.
