Her study, which reviewed 54 climate policies, found limited inclusion of gender considerations, and she calls for a gender-responsive approach to climate adaptation that strengthens collaboration.
• Presentation 2, by Haiyun Nisa, on “Eco-Anxiety: The Impact of Climate Change on Women’s Mental Health in Aceh, Indonesia”: This presentation examines the psychological effects of climate change, particularly “eco-anxiety,” on women in disaster-prone areas. The study reveals a significant link between climate change and mental health issues, with many women experiencing increased anxiety and depression.
