CLIMATE JUSTICE
Responding to the climate emergency
Our goal is that by 2030, 10 million poor and marginalized people, particularly women and girls, have strengthened their resilience and adaptive capacities to the effects of the climate emergency.
The impacts of the climate emergency on women and girls

People who rely on biodiversity for survival are no longer able to produce food; people who can only afford basic shelter have their homes destroyed through repeated cyclones; people who don’t have any insurance or savings must rebuild their lives from nothing after disasters.
For example, as resources diminish, women and girls often take on more domestic and care work. For instance, walking for long distances in search of water affects girls performance is school and affects their future. In the event of a disaster, women can face increased threats of violence, sexual, or economic abuse and younger girls can be sent into early or forced marriage as their families face extreme economic hardship. Women have slower economic recovery compared to men and generally experience poorer reproductive and maternal health outcomes due to food insecurity, exhaustion, heat, and waterborne diseases.
Who is responsible for the climate emergency?
We can counteract some of this damage through robust policies, that put equality and inclusions at the heart. These must be supported by actions that help all people to increase their ability to withstand climate related shocks and stresses, and that limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C.
What is Hello Pretty doing to achieve climate justice?

Hello Pretty and our partners are well-positioned to work on these changes, due to our long-standing experience in addressing climate justice through:
- Climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction
- Sustainable agriculture
- Ecosystems and natural resource management
- Gender equality
Globally, our work on climate change is to help ensure that the rights of the poorest and most vulnerable people are heard at international climate emergency negotiations and when planning and delivering projects that help people adapt and become more resilient to climate shocks. This includes helping people learn new farming techniques that help them withstand the impacts of recurring disasters. It also means securing people’s rights and access to valuable natural resources. With the right knowledge and sufficient means, people can take the necessary steps to safeguard their own lives, incomes and futures. And by strengthening women’s voices, we ensure they have a stronger say in decisions that affect their lives.
