Gender inequities amplify the tertiary health effects of climate change . In an Inuit community, for instance, women reported a higher level of mental stress related to climate change than men . Adverse pregnancy outcomes and altered developmental trajectories have also been associated with climate change . Indigenous Batwa women in Uganda reported experiencing more severe circumstances of food insecurity during pregnancy due to drought and unpredictable seasons negatively impacting agricultural practices . More studies with a gender perspective on climate change as a determinant of Indigenous Peoples' health are needed, along with the perspectives of indigenous children and youth, displaced individuals and communities in urban settings .
