Women’s lives are uniquely impacted by climate change and environmental degradation: Natural disasters and severe seasonal variations such as floods, erosions and droughts exacerbate underlying gender inequalities, increase incidences of sexual gender-based violence and enhance socio-economic vulnerabilities for women and girls.

It includes conclusions and recommendations on how to address the unique impact of climate change on women and girls’ lives in Rwanda, and how organisations can be environmentally sustainable in their operations.
