Gender dimensions of weather and climate services
About this video
Prof Luterbacher explains the efforts of the WMO to advance understanding of gender dimensions in weather and climate services. Multiple and intersecting forms of vulnerability impacts need to be addressed. Now is the opportunity for innovative gender-responsive climate and recovery initiatives, led by grassroot women’s organisations in cooperation with gender-responsive interventions and targeted actions, led by WMO. As part of this effort certain gaps need closing in intersectional analysis of impacts, gender differentiated needs of climate information and services, improved representation of women in Earth science, and good practice in women’s involvement in climate action and gender responsive interventions.
