Women are on the front line when it comes to climate change. A study carried out in March 2024 by the FAO[1] on food and agriculture in 24 countries and involving 100,000 households concluded that a one-degree rise in temperature would lead to a 34% drop in women's income. In periods of drought or rainfall, women work harder and walk further to supply their communities with food, water and firewood. Yet women can play a key role in solutions for resilience and sustainable resource management. They are powerful agents of change. Not only for the development of economic growth, but also for the success of climate policies. With this in mind, the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation, Beyond Finance and FosterImpact have joined forces to announce the launch of Women Empowerment for Climate, a $100 million impact investment fund dedicated to empowering women to successfully implement policies to adapt to climate change.
