Women & children are disproportionately impacted by climate hazards, esp if they are poor. Air pollution, heat & floods/droughts are main hazards. Women can also provide the solutions - if given resources, tools & agency to make decisions. NDMA India | राष्ट्रीय आपदा प्रबंधन प्राधिकरण 🇮🇳 MoEF&CC Ministry of Health Mark Suzman
