A recent United Nations report highlights how global warming disproportionately affects women-led households in low- and middle-income countries, exacerbating existing social disparities. Female-headed households experience greater income loss due to extreme heat and flooding, as they often lack access to essential services and resources like land ownership, loans, and agricultural support. The long-term effects of global warming further widen this income disparity. To address these challenges, strategies such as cash transfers, insurance payouts, climate-adaptive agricultural practices, and access to capital and childcare are being explored. Failing to address these inequalities could widen the gap between genders and exacerbate socio-economic disparities.
