Climate change impacts women and men differently, with women more likely to face greater negative consequences. Thus, it is important to factor in these differences into climate change mitigation and adaption strategies and to include women's voices in the formulation of such policies. 197 amendments and 20 compromise amendments were tabled to the draft report.
