Resilient Futures: Protecting Women's Health in a Changing Climate

Climate change poses an urgent threat to women's and girls' health, with devastating implications for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).

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. Extreme weather events 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 report, Bridging the Climate-Gender-Health Nexus: A Funder's Starter Guide, explores how climate and SRHR intersect and offers strategic recommendations across five investment pillars for addressing these challenges.

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