Abstract: In this article, we argue how climate change impacts human health, especially the health of women. Scientists are estimating that by 2030, the impact of climate change cannot be reversed; in light of this, this paper argues about the importance of women segregated data to understand the issue of women’s health better so that policymakers can design appropriate policy intervention and preventive actions.
