As businesses work toward managing climate risk, companies must recognize that they can manage the physical, transitional, and credit risks associated with the climate crisis more efficiently and effectively if they include women in their business-led climate action. The IFC-PBC project 'Climate2Equal' aims to help companies make pledges towards gender and climate action.
