Access to finance ‘strengthens climate resilience’ among sub-Saharan women
Matched: climate
A new study finds that giving women in sub-Saharan Africa greater access to finance improves households' ability to withstand climate-related shocks. Researchers say financially empowered women are better positioned to help their families adapt to and recover from extreme weather events, suggesting that expanding women's financial inclusion could serve as a practical climate resilience strategy in vulnerable regions.
