Despite bearing the brunt of climate change consequences, women display remarkable resilience and resourcefulness.</p> <blockquote> <p>But women are not being given a chance to speak or demonstrate their perspectives. They are systematically underrepresented at all levels of decision making."</p> </blockquote> <p>It has been estimated that advancing gender equality could add $12 trillion to the global economy.</p> <p>Women disproportionately suffer the impacts of disasters, severe weather events, and climate change because of cultural norms and the inequitable distribution of roles, resources, and power, especially in developing countries.</p> <p>A UNDP report showed that “80% of people displaced by climate crises are women".</p> <p>Founders of SHE Changes Climate believe that for all life to survive

CoAct project aims to contribute to the field of Citizen Social Science by implementing research programmes dealing with various social issues, from youth unemployment to mental health to environmental justice.</p> <blockquote> <p>“We believe that Citizen Social Science is not just a research field: it is also a set of strategies and practices developed within activist communities and civic organisations to support citizen mobilisation and community building projects,”</p> </blockquote> <p>Lombion adds.</p> <p>Citizen Social Science combines collaboration between citizen groups and academic researchers to address pressing social issues from the bottom up, finding solutions embedded in their social contexts, building on robust research methods.</p> <p
