Climate change affects everyone, but not equally. Women are often disproportionately affected by it, in particular single mothers, single women, women with disabilities and elderly women living alone. This is due to unequally shared care responsibilities and more limited access to economic resources and decisions. Thus, women face greater challenges during eco crises.

A new toolkit developed by EIGE, the EU’s gender equality agency, recognises this imbalance and offers practical solutions to address it. To help ensure environmental policies foster inclusivity, EIGE is launching its innovative GREENA (Gender-Responsive Evaluation for an Environmental and Sustainable Future for All) toolkit.
