The Unjust Climate - Measuring the impacts of climate change on rural poor, women, and youth

Climate change is dramatically constraining opportunities to leverage agrifood systems to reduce poverty and hunger. The disparities in climate vulnerabilities within rural areas are considerable, and current funding to support climate actions falls woefully short of the needs of vulnerable people.

The new FAO report "The Unjust Climate. Measuring the impacts of climate change on rural poor, women, and youth" shows that the challenges and opportunities to reduce climate vulnerability among rural women, youth, and the poor vary considerably. It presents new evidence on the magnitude of the income gaps within rural areas caused by different climate stressors, critical to guide inclusive policies, investments and programmes that leave no one behind. The report is based on over 109,000 households in 24 countries in 5 regions of the world, and 70 years of geo-referenced rainfall and temperature data. 

The new report launch will take place in FAO Headquarters on Tuesday, 5 March 2024 (15:00 - 16:30 (CET).
