The purpose of this letter to the editor is to demand rapid action and provide solutions that are both inexpensive and sustainable in order to address the severe health dangers that are presented by climate change, especially for particularly vulnerable women and children. In order to improve food security, cultural preservation, and disease prevention, these solutions focus the empowerment of women via programs such as community seed banks and knowledge networks. Additionally, they revive traditional knowledge such as the use of medicinal plants. Additionally, the letter places an emphasis on community-driven solutions such as early warning systems and disaster preparation training. Additionally, the letter addresses the gender component of climate change by addressing initiatives that empower women and enhance their well-being. In conclusion, it urges all parties involved, including governments, organizations, and people, to work together to emphasize the empowerment of women, climate-smart agriculture, and resilient healthcare systems in order to construct a future that is more fair and robust for everyone.
