人类面临着双重挑战:既要满足全球能源需求，又要防止气候变化失控。气候变化是我们这一代人类发展的决定性问题。它有可能侵蚀人类自由，限制选择，并进一步凸显与气候风险和脆弱性交织在一起的性别不平等。这种不平等现象体现在妇女的生存和女婴出生时的生存，特别是在农村地区。气候变化的影响不仅对人类，而且对动物也有性别差异。在人类中，女性更容易受到气候变化的影响，因为theWomenÂ获得资源的途径有限，尤其是在农村地区，那里和动物一样，气候的变化将决定动物的性别。研究得最好的例子是海龟。大多数worldÂ的海龟有环境性别决定(ESD)。这意味着海龟幼仔的性别取决于温度，温度升高会增加雌性海龟的数量，而雄性海龟的数量则会减少。本文的重点不是要引发关于男性和女性之间权力关系的争论，而是要讨论气候变化潜在影响的脆弱性和恢复力，并将女性置于这些弱势群体之中。 While the scientific analyses remain crucial, social imperatives must be taken into account. Although there are no obvious direct linkages between climate change and women, its potential impacts in terms of socio-economic vulnerability and adaptation place women in a key position. Integrating the gender approach is also helpful in designing and implementing policies, programmes and projects that lead to greater equity and equality. The ultimate goal of this study is to ensure the inclusion of gender as a scientific variable and a criterion for evaluating the effect of climate change
