dc.description.abstractThere has been an unprecedented increase in awareness and advocacy for better climate conditions, albeit with relatively less improvement in the current climate conditions. The consequences of which have been linked to the unsustainable production and consumption levels of the planet’s resources. The impacts of human activities on the planet have ranged from the aggravation of poverty to the destruction of infrastructure and exacerbation of insecurity issues, amongst others. Nevertheless, environmental degradation has differential impacts on women and men. Despite this, the United Nations Women has stated that only 29% of the featured speakers on international platforms on climate change are women. This paper, therefore, engaged in an extensive review of existing literature to understand the differential role of women and men in regard to environmental degradation and its impact on both sexes. This paper employed mainly secondary sources of data collection to arrive at its conclusions. In its findings, it observed that women’s subordination in climate issues could be largely attributed to differences in power relations between women and men, women’s lack of access to resources resulting inthe high rate of poverty, thereby exposing them unequally to the effects of changes in climate. It also established the impacts of climate change on women, with implications ranging from less crop yield to a rise in vulnerability to natural disasters and diseases, among other things.
