Women’s Income Loss From Climate Change Is Much Higher Than Men’s

: Heat causes female-headed households in rural areas to lose 8 percent of their income as compared to male-headed households, and floods cause them to lose 3 percent. The FAO used data from 24 low- and middle-income countries.

Additionally, rural women take on more of the work burden as compared to men when extreme weather events occur, but also lose more income opportunities, the FAO writes. Floods and droughts also “significantly increase” the hours that women work per week relative to men. The long-term implications of climate change for women are dire, with the FAO predicting that a 1 degree Celsius rise in long-term average temperatures reduces the average income of female-headed households by 34 percent compared to that of male-headed households.last year found that about 80 percent of agricultural policies in 68 low- and middle-income countries did not take into account the unique challenges women face when it comes to climate change.
