Governments with higher percentages of women in office are significantly more likely to have stricter climate laws in place, according to a 2019 study by Australian researchers. And even after accounting for a wide range of other factors, the study found those stricter climate laws mean residents of countries with more women in office emit less carbon than residents of countries led predominantly by men
Compared to men, women are more likely to express greater concern about climate change, believe more strongly that climate change is happening, hold more objective knowledge about climate change (but also a tendency to underestimate their knowledge) and report greater perceptions of vulnerability to climate change
