Abstract

It has been acknowledged that the poor and the impoverished are the most vulnerable to climate change worldwide, and when we consider gender, women are more vulnerable to climate change than males, and as a result, they suffer the most. Because data collectors collect information from household heads, who are primarily men, these women are left out of the data collection process. According to the SDG Report 2022, this is one of the primary difficulties we are now dealing with. For the study, we selected the Indian cities of Jaipur and Ayodhya, and we conducted a qualitative survey of women from underprivileged families, including families Below Poverty Line. The impact of climate change on women's lifestyles, disease transmission, trends natural disasters, food consumption, daily work patterns, changes in traditional knowledge, and why it is important to take action for India’s sustainable development are all discussed in this paper. This research will help raise awareness of the regional NGOs and give insight into how to frame policies and initiatives that support women. This research will also shed light on areas with comparable temporal patterns, such as Jaipur and Ayodhya, in other parts of the world.
