Climate-related crises in poorer countries increases violence and exploitation of women, says a recent report, and current attempts to address climate change fail to tackle this issue. This was the conclusion reached by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), an international organization that promotes conservation and sustainability policies in government and corporate entities. The IUCN conducted what may be considered the largest and most thorough study on the subject, with research that lasted for two years and covered over 1,000 sources, according to The Guardian.
