UNGCNI Warns Funding Gap For Climate-Vulnerable Women

Vaishali Nigam Sinha, president of the United Nations Global Compact Network India, told PTI that capital for helping women hit by climate change equals about 10% of required funding and cited barriers like missing sanitation at renewable worksites. She referenced a 2025 UN Women projection that up to 158.3 million more women and girls could enter extreme poverty by 2050, warned time is running out for SDG targets, and convened over 200 leaders at UNGCNI's 9th Gender Equality summit.
