"This motion for a resolution, drafted by Nicole Kiil-Nielsen, draws our attention to a new problem: raising awareness of the influence that gender could – or does – have on climate change. The role played by women in many societies confers on them responsibilities in managing certain natural resources with a direct impact on environmental sustainability. In reality, it is they who use the most water and forest products day to day, for cooking and cleaning, and as an energy source, respectively. This issue increases in significance when we consider that around 85% of the victims of environmental disasters and 75% of the refugees therefrom are women. It is therefore essential that they participate in discussion forums and decision-making bodies, where their experience will add value to measures adopted to improve this situation. I voted for this motion for a resolution because I am confident that making action on the climate more responsible and appropriate will contribute to improving quality of life for the populations of many parts of the world, especially in at-risk areas."@en1
