This publication highlights the interrelated crises of care and climate change, focusing on how the lack of access to care services and the impacts of climate change disproportionately affect women. It stresses that unpaid care work, primarily carried out by women, is undervalued and invisible in economic policymaking, contributing to inequalities in gender, economics, and social rights. Climate change exacerbates the care crisis by increasing care demands and disrupting caregiving systems through extreme weather events.

The report calls for a gender-just transition, where states invest in quality care services and address power imbalances in climate adaptation policies, aiming to reduce inequality and improve well-being globally.
