Agriculture remains the largest employment sector in Asia-Pacific. And a large proportion of this labour force is made up of women; nearly 58% of the female labour force in Asia and the Pacific work in agriculture, according to the UN data. This further highlights how women’s livelihoods are highly dependent on natural resources, making them particularly vulnerable to a changing climate.
