Climate Change, Gender, and Youth: Navigating Intersectional Challenges

Climate change is not gender neutral. In Ghana, women and girls bear the brunt of drought, flooding, and agricultural losses. They often walk longer distances for water, lose livelihoods, or face risks during displacement.

Youth also feel the impact: disrupted schooling, fewer jobs, and uncertain futures. But youth can also be leaders in climate action.

GRAYNETWORK engages young people in climate awareness programs, tree-planting campaigns, and advocacy for eco-friendly policies. We highlight how climate justice must also mean gender justice.

Protecting our environment is not optional—it’s survival. And we must ensure women, girls, and youth are at the heart of the fight.
