Extreme weather events—floods, droughts, and scorching heat waves—are becoming more frequent and intense, disrupting lives and livelihoods. Yet one critical impact is often overlooked: the growing threat to the health and well-being of women and girls.

Despite the critical nature of this challenge, current funding and attention remain inadequate:

• Only 4% of climate-related development assistance prioritizes gender equality
• Less than 1% of global philanthropic funding addresses gender and environmental issues

The consequences are profound. Climate disasters destroy healthcare infrastructure, disrupt essential services, and disproportionately impact vulnerable communities. Women and girls face compounding health risks that threaten decades of progress in gender equity and reproductive health.

Panorama's latest resource, Bridging the Climate-Gender-Health Nexus: A Funder's Starter Guide, explores the intersection of climate and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and offers strategic recommendations across five investment pillars to address these challenges.

By investing in cross-sectoral collaboration and innovative approaches, we can develop equitable and resilient climate-health solutions that protect women's and girls' sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Inaction is not an option. Together, we can build a future where climate resilience and sexual and reproductive health and rights go hand in hand.‍
