Abstract
The climate crisis will have an impact on everyone, everywhere, affecting both present and future generations, but there are unique ways in which the crisis is impacting the lives of women and girls. This commentary reviews growing evidence on the effects of climate change on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and gender-based violence (GBV), illustrating how the crisis is augmenting preexisting gender inequalities. Far greater attention to SRHR and GBV is needed within climate actions to ensure the fulfillment of the International Conference on Population and Development Programme of Action and a sustainable future for women and girls.
