Feeling the heat: Women and climate change • FRANCE 24 English

In a special edition, we examine how climate change is affecting the lives of women as rising temperatures and increasingly extreme weather events continue to impact communities worldwide. This as the world is also facing a warming El Nino climate pattern in the coming months. We report from India where a series of recent intense heatwaves has pushed temperatures to dangerous levels and posed a particularly serious risk to pregnant women. Annette Young also talks to UK author, Natasha Walter, whose latest book is entitled 'Feminism for a World on Fire,’ who says a feminist approach is badly needed to address the climate crisis. Plus, how for millions of women, heatwaves are not just about the rising temperatures. It also puts them at risk of harassment in public as they wear lighter clothes such as shorts or sleeveless dresses and tops, according to French data.
