"Although the battle against global climate change is a shared concern of all of us, it has a particular importance for women, as the more socially vulnerable gender. It is known that on a global level, women are at greater risk of poverty and are in a weaker competitive position in the labour market. Today, however, we are in a situation in which decisions affecting society as a whole, including in environmental matters, are taken mainly by men. In order to obtain a better overview of the situation, we should first gather statistics on the influence of climate measures on women, and also on whether men or women are the decision makers in policy areas connected with the environment. Environmental problems and the measures adopted to combat them are of global importance and influence everyone, which makes it extremely important that one gender should not be under-represented in delegations of negotiators and decision makers. The report ‘Women and Climate Change’ emphasises those very problems, and for that reason, I voted in favour."@en1
