Recent findings underscore that climate change disproportionately affects women, highlighting a significant gender gap in energy access. As revealed by the new data, women in vulnerable regions suffer more due to energy poverty, leading to broader social inequities. Limited access to clean energy sources increases women’s exposure to health hazards and restricts their economic opportunities. The study emphasizes the urgent need for gender-sensitive solutions to energy issues exacerbated by climate change. In Fiji and similar regions, tackling these gaps can empower women, improve health outcomes, and foster sustainable development. By addressing these disparities, policymakers can help mitigate the deepening impact of global warming on women. As climate change continues to reshape communities, prioritizing gender equality in energy access is key to building resilient futures.
