| description | Women's leadership is increasingly considered critical for achieving climate-resilient agrifood systems. Numerous initiatives and policies highlight the business case for women's leadership to deliver a range of positive social, economic and environmental outcomes. In this Perspective, we examine the business case, finding uneven evidence linking women's leadership to increased resilience to climate change. We problematize the ways women's leadership is typically understood in this area and argue that, despite the value and utility of understanding the pathways through which women's leadership can strengthen climate-resilient agrifood systems, support for increasing women's leadership should not be contingent on proving the business case or its instrumental value. Rather, increasing the leadership of women in all their diversity in climate action is a moral imperative and non-negotiable due to women's human right to have meaningful influence in the decisions that affect their lives. Finally, we propose ways to reframe the debate on women's leadership in climate and agrifood systems and suggest priorities for future research in this area. |
