“…People and societies with more education are better prepared and recover faster after disasters (Muttarak & Lutz, 2014). Formal education in technology and engineering can empower women to develop new “green” technologies to reduce the use of hazardous substances and mitigate climate change and its consequences (Cannon et al, 2022). The involvement of women in scientific innovation can contribute to more effective and efficient actions rather than “gadget” strategies (Le Loarne‐Lemaire et al, 2021).…”

Our world faces potentially catastrophic climate change that can damage human health in multiple ways. The impact of climate change is uneven, disproportionately affecting the lives and livelihoods of women and girls. This conceptual article compiles evidence for a model that argues that climate change has more detrimental consequences for women than men because of women's precarity (unequal power) and corporal (physical) vulnerability. Climate change challenges the human rights of women and girls, triggering displacement, interrupted education, food and water scarcity, economic instability, mental and physical health challenges, reproductive injustice, gender‐based violence, exploitation and human trafficking. Women are effective and essential change agents; their empowerment can directly contravene or mitigate climate change and also break the links between climate change and its negative consequences for women and girls. Gender‐sensitive responses to the effects of climate change are imperative. Women's empowerment will further human rights and achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

“…Science and technology are crucial for interconnecting different aspects of society and can assist in achieving all of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Gender equality (UN SDG 5) is one of the most significant factors that can help the holistic progress of society and the attainment of all other UN SDGs, where 54 out of 232 are gender indicators …”

The role of women in science and technology has become crucial for the overall development of a nation. In India, the numeric representation of women up to graduate and postgraduate levels is the same as male candidates but declines from the doctorate level. A continued women’s lower employment rate in universities and higher educational institutes must be analyzed for necessary action. The Government of India has initiated various schemes, programs, fellowships, and financial grants to the research community to carry out basic and advanced scientific and technological research. In this regard, the present study maps the participation of women through research proposal submission and approval in selected schemes of the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB). The study also analyzed subject-wise trends and the role of institutes in developing the capacities of women scientists to perform research in cutting-edge technologies. The paper also describes the impact of SERB’s women-centric POWER Scheme to uplift women scientists from different institutes. The review recommends potential areas where women researchers should be further encouraged to participate and generate solutions for societal problems using the tools of science and technology.
