Overarching Legal Frameworks and Public Life

This table examines the presence and effectiveness of legal frameworks that promote gender equality in public life, including constitutional guarantees, anti-discrimination laws, and policies aimed at increasing women's participation in the public sphere. A robust legal framework is essential for addressing the intersection of gender inequality and climate change, as it can empower women to take leadership roles in climate governance, influence decision-making, and secure equal rights in climate-related resource distribution. In countries where legal protections for women are weak or absent, women may face greater barriers in adapting to and mitigating the impacts of climate disasters. This data underscores the importance of strong legal systems to ensure that climate resilience efforts are inclusive, equitable, and sustainable for all genders.
