Climate change is the most significant global health threat of the 21st century, disproportionately affecting women and girls in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Due to persistent existing gender inequities, women and girls face greater climate-related health risks, particularly regarding sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). However, SRHR is often overlooked and not included in climate adaptation planning and policy.
