The climate crisis isn’t just a threat to our environment — it directly jeopardizes sexual reproductive health, rights, and gender equality.
Over 14 million women and girls are at risk of losing access to contraception by 2030 due to climate disasters alone.
Despite this, YLabs’ new analysis of nearly 60 countries’ climate adaptation plans found that ZERO countries include voluntary rights-based continuous contraceptive access as part of their climate adaptation approach.
This is just one concrete example of how sexual and reproductive health and rights are too often overlooked and left out of the conversation.
When it comes to climate change, knowing where to begin can feel overwhelming. That’s why YLabs developed the Climate Change x SRHR Evidence and Action Hub. It gives funders, implementers, and policymakers the data and tools they need to protect reproductive health and rights in the face of climate change.
Gender equality and climate justice are intertwined. And we need climate solutions that reflect that.
