the current climate conditions. The consequences of
which have been linked to the unsustainable
production and consumption levels of the planet’s
resources. The impacts of human activities on the
planet have ranged from the aggravation of poverty
to the destruction of infrastructure and exacerbation
of insecurity issues, amongst others. Nevertheless,
environmental degradation has differential impacts
on women and men. Despite this, the United Nations
Women has stated that only 29% of the featured
speakers on international platforms on climate
change are women. This paper, therefore, engaged
in an extensive review of existing literature to
understand the differential role of women and men in
regard to environmental degradation and its impact
on both sexes. This paper employed mainly
secondary sources of data collection to arrive at its
conclusions. In its findings, it observed that women’s
subordination in climate issues could be largely
attributed to differences in power relations between
women and men, women’s lack of access to
resources resulting inthe high rate of poverty, thereby
exposing them unequally to the effects of changes in
climate. It also established the impacts of climate
change on women, with implications ranging from
less crop yield to a rise in vulnerability to natural
disasters and diseases, among other things.
