Women and girls, especially in the global south, bear the brunt of climate change. Extreme heat poses a significant challenge, particularly for women working in the informal economy. Their jobs in fields, factories, and markets become impossible in temperatures of 40-50 degrees Celsius. The number of deaths related to climate change is alarming, with Europe alone recording 61,000 deaths due to heat last summer. Unfortunately, we don't have precise figures for Africa, Asia, and Latin America yet, but estimates suggest that out of 500,000 deaths, the majority are women and girls. Pregnant women face additional challenges in extreme heat.
