Current number of seats in national parliaments

This table presents the total number of seats available in national parliaments across various countries. Understanding the overall composition of national legislative bodies is crucial for assessing the potential influence of gender representation on policy-making, particularly in the context of climate change. By comparing this data with the proportion of seats held by women, it is possible to evaluate the level of gender inclusivity in national decision-making processes. Parliaments with a higher number of seats may have more opportunities for diversity, which is vital for enacting policies that address both climate resilience and gender inequality. Conversely, parliaments with fewer seats may face challenges in achieving balanced representation, potentially impacting the development of equitable climate policies.
