Abstract
Climate Change is receiving deserved attention after a scientific and political denial of long held view that climate change is a farce and not real. The shift in acceptance have happened specially after recently concluded COP21 Paris draft. While historical polluter debate has got its well placed meaning in Paris draft, shifting the burden to cut emissions more on developed economies, what still is missing is gender. Mary Robinson a UN special envoy for climate change accurately pointed that Paris climate summit’s gender imbalance with heavy male dominance is detrimental to taking action on saving people from global warming. Analysing the women participation data, it has come on froth that woman are minimally present in any breakthrough discussion or deal.
