Counted out
Across four major global climate-health monitoring frameworks, we find almost none measure how women and men are affected differently.
What we do
Our climate and health work asks the questions we put to every sector: who holds power, who makes decisions, who gets counted? Our research assesses whether global climate responses recognise the role of gender in driving risk and vulnerability, and whether the frameworks that monitor the impacts of climate change on people’s lives show who is most affected and if they are being reached.

Gender justice for planetary health
As Earth’s natural systems deteriorate, marginalised communities bear the brunt, often excluded from solutions. Our report delves into whether critical gender considerations shape global responses to planetary health crises.
Counted out: policy brief
This brief sets out what decision-makers can do now, while the Belém Adaptation Indicators are still being defined, to make sure the people most at risk are counted.
