Why climate change hits women particularly hard - In the 2nd episode "Environment on the ear".
Water shortages, droughts, floods: Climate change threatens people's livelihoods and hits women and marginalized groups particularly hard - in their health, finances and political participation. Adréana Hess and Anna Geuchen talk about why this is so and what we can do about these unequal conditions in the second episode of the DNR podcast "Environment on your ear." Anna Geuchen is an officer of the DNR presidium and works on social transformation and gender, among other topics. She says, "The climate crisis has an incredibly large dimension in connection with the gender issue." She says it acts as a driver for already existing problems such as poverty and inequality. It's also unacceptable, she says, because "men have a much bigger ecological footprint, women live more sustainably and pollute less."
