Eighty percent of people displaced by climate change globally are women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The information cited by <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/11\/03\/not-listening-the-five-reacts-pelosi-pushing-radical-agenda\/\">Pelosi<\/a> appeared to originate from a 2018 UN report that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.undp.org\/content\/dam\/undp\/library\/gender\/Gender%20and%20Environment\/UNDP%20Linkages%20Gender%20and%20CC%20Policy%20Brief%201-WEB.pdf\">referenced<\/a> the 80% figure, but it is unclear which study the statistic came from. The report further concluded that women tend to be harmed more than men during cataclysmic climate events because they remain in the home while men are \u201cout in the open\u201d and cultural gender roles \u201csometimes limit women\u2019s abilities to make quick decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Speaker Pelosi traveled to the conference along with nearly two dozen fellow House Democrats, she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speaker.gov\/newsroom\/11821-1\">announced<\/a>. The lawmakers were set to participate in bilateral meetings, panel discussions and other \u201cengagements\u201d with international counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the Democrats\u2019 activity revolved around gender issues Tuesday since it was \u201cgender day\u201d at COP26, the UN <a href=\"https:\/\/unfccc.int\/topics\/gender\/events-meetings\/gender-day-other-events-at-cops\/gender-women-at-cop-26#eq-1\">said<\/a>. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/11\/08\/barack-obama-donald-trump-emissions-united-nations-cop26\/\">(RELATED: Obama Takes Credit For Emissions Reductions Under Trump Administration)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7317796\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"34\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7317796\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">House Speaker Nancy Pelosi poses with the Democratic congressional delegation at COP26 on Tuesday in Glasgow, Scotland.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who was part of the congressional delegation, the NYT reported. \u201cIt\u2019s time for us to re-examine our first-world and global governments, to re-examine their priorities about what is possible, and really try to push them on the boundaries of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the House <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/11\/05\/house-sends-infrastructure-bill-bidens-desk-after-11th-hour-agreement-between-liberals-moderates\/\">approved a key measure<\/a> moving President Joe Biden\u2019s budget framework, the Build Back Better Act, closer to being passed. The legislation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eenews.net\/articles\/dems-regroup-with-555b-climate-spending-hanging-in-balance\/\">includes<\/a> $555 billion in climate spending, the largest of its kind ever.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats <a href=\"https:\/\/unfccc-cop26.streamworld.de\/webcast\/speaker-pelosi-us-congressional-delegation-to-cop2\">touted<\/a> the budget bill during their meetings and remarks at COP26 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the world faces \u2018Code Red for Humanity\u2019 because of the climate crisis, America has the great responsibility and opportunity to meet this moment,\u201d Pelosi said in a statement Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLed by President Biden and the Democratic Congress, we will do just that: advancing clean air and clean water for public health, creating good-paying green jobs and advancing our pre-eminence in green technologies, protecting our national security and leaving our children and grandchildren a healthier planet and a better future,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi\u2019s office didn\u2019t respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Content created by The Daily Caller News Foundation is available without charge to any eligible news publisher that can provide a large audience.
