World governments are about to gather for the COP21 climate negotiations in Paris, where they will work to finalise a climate agreement with critical implications for the trajectory of international action on climate change. In this context, this Special Focus gathers articles and viewpoints on why gender equality matters when addressing climate change issues. How does climate change impact on women’s lives? And how are women major actors in tackling climate change issues? Why are more women needed in climate negotiations? See our selection of articles on the topic.
