More about this training

Gender inequality is a root cause of poverty. Climate change, in turn, is making poverty worse. This means that, for many women and girls living in poverty, the chances of achieving a better life are threatened by a double injustice: climate change and gender inequality.

CARE developed 2 introductory courses on this double injustice. 

  1. Gender - The basics (this course)
  2. Climate Justice and Gender Justice (here)
