lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report on women and climate change since a lot of work still needs to be done in this area because the gender aspect has not yet been integrated into climate policies. In some regions, almost 70% of all employed women work in agriculture and produce up to 90% of some crops, yet they are virtually absent from budget deliberations and climate change activities. Furthermore, droughts and water shortages resulting from climate change force women to work more in order to provide water, food and energy, while young people frequently abandon school to help their mothers in these tasks. It should be recognised that climate change exacerbates gender discrimination in addition to its other catastrophic effects. Averting dangerous climate change must therefore be the highest priority of the European Union, both in domestic and external policy. Unfortunately, at present, there is still a lack of data and statistics produced according to gender, which could be used to carry out research in the areas of transport, energy and agricultural policy. More information in the area of climate change would help provide a better understanding and evaluation of the gender aspect in this area. The Commission should therefore take more action in this area and seek to ensure that a gender-based perspective is integrated into the European Union’s policy on combating climate change as soon as possible."@en1
