Briefings

A 2026 article reports that climate change risks pushing 141 million more women into extreme poverty by 2030, as 1.5 billion women already live in 'climate hotspots' with high hazard exposure, insecure jobs, and deep gender inequality.

Key points

• 1.5 billion women currently reside in 'climate hotspots' where high hazards like cyclones and droughts combine with insecure employment and gender inequality.
• 141 million additional women are projected to face extreme poverty by 2030 due to climate impacts.

Context

This finding highlights how climate hazards intersect with existing social vulnerabilities to disproportionately affect women's economic security.

Limitations

Evidence is limited to a 2026 article; specific regional breakdowns, exact poverty thresholds, or causal mechanisms beyond hazard-job-inequality nexus are not provided.
