“Rural women are at the forefront when natural resources and agriculture are threatened by climate change, worsening the existing barriers of empowerment and equality,” said the UN Women Vanuatu Country Programme Coordinator, Betty Zinner Toa.
"Climate change affects women's and men's assets and well-being differently in terms of agricultural production, food security, health, water and energy resources, climate-induced migration and conflict, and climate related natural disasters,” she said.
