YPNation Contributor Nikki Gloudeman highlights a recent report from the UN Population Fund about the vulnerability of the world's poor women when it comes to climate change: http://www.ypnation.net/blogs/women-key-climate-change-debate
"A report following a catastrophe-heavy year in 1991 found that the death rate among females was 71 per 1000, compared to 15 per 1000 for men. Beyond fatality, disasters also have more of a lingering impact on women in the country—they destroy both the agricultural landscape and the homes in which they work."
