United Nations agencies have been busy. Between initially denying Hamas’s mutilation of Israeli women and allegedly employing 12 Hamas terrorists, you’d think U.N. proxies wouldn’t have time to submit policy goals such as the — checks notes — Feminist Climate Justice framework.

“Climate change is creating a downward spiral for women and girls,” Sarah Hendriks, UN Women deputy executive director, said in December. “We need to transform economies away from extraction and pollution and integrate women’s rights into all aspects of climate policy and financing. UN Women is calling for feminist climate justice, and a world in which everyone can enjoy their human rights, and flourish on a planet that is healthy and sustainable.”

(Hendriks, by the way, is the UN Women representative who would not condemn Hamas’s violence against women when asked on CNN why the agency couldn’t “specifically call out Hamas, and the mounting evidence, now over seven weeks, that Israeli investigators have collected.”)

The feminist climate justice approach contains four areas, UN Women says: “Recognizing women’s rights, labour, and knowledge, redistributing economic resources, representation of women’s voices, and repairing inequalities and historical injustices.” By recognizing “the expertise that women—including indigenous, rural, and young women—have,” raising “resources through progressive taxation on the wealthiest people and companies to pay for social welfare programmes to support women’s resilience,” increasing women’s participation in environmental policy-making, and ensuring that climate development aid only goes to “the most vulnerable countries and grassroots women’s organizations,” the world might finally achieve “gender equality in the age of climate crisis.”

The report is the first in many installments leading up to Progress of the World’s Women, a flagship report that UN Women will release in 2025 that will “focus on gender equality in the age of climate crisis.”

Climate crises “[grow] out of a patriarchal system that is also entangled with racism and white supremacy and extractive capitalism,” author and activist Katharine Wilkinson, who Time magazine named one of 15 “women who will save the world,” wrote in 2020. Men and their patriarchal tendencies caused the climate crisis, and men with their large carbon footprints are now ruining what’s left, climate feminists claim.

The U.S. gave UN Women $46,419,970 in 2022.
