A Review on Climate Change and Gender Dynamics in Pakistan
This study conducts an extensive review to examine how gender relates to climate change in Pakistan by exploring the climate-led difficulties that affect women differently. The research happens at a time when experts position Pakistan as a leading risk nation for climate change, and its social problems intensify because women face substantial exclusion gaps. Pakistani women face substantially adverse outcomes from climate change, which include increased caregiving responsibilities and insecure income, and dangerous health conditions. The 2022 flood disaster revealed that millions of citizens became more exposed to danger while facing the catastrophe. Women face two major challenges that prevent them from joining climate resilience programs: ongoing gender inequality and discriminatory policies. The assessment shows why gender sensitivity should be coupled with stakeholder cooperation for addressing these problems. Gender-inclusive climate action approaches will enable Pakistan to develop better strategies that combine climate resilience with sustainable development achievements. The document recommends strengthening both policies and institutional processes, which should empower women to act as climate solution providers for Pakistan.
