Number of seats held by women in national parliaments

This table provides data on the number of parliamentary seats occupied by women across various countries. Women's representation in national parliaments is a key factor in promoting gender-sensitive legislation, particularly in areas related to climate change and disaster management. A higher number of seats held by women can lead to more inclusive policymaking that addresses the specific needs of women and marginalized groups in the face of climate-related challenges. In contrast, countries where women hold fewer seats may lack the gender diversity needed to fully integrate social equity into national climate adaptation and resilience strategies. This data is critical for understanding the intersection of political representation, gender inequality, and environmental sustainability.
