Abstract (English):	Introduction. The consequences of climate change for women in Latin American countries are more severe due to persistent gaps in education, land ownership and access to information services. These inequities heighten health, welfare and livelihood risks among rural women. Objective. To describe the relationship between climate change and food security from a gender perspective in Latin America. Materials and methods. An exploratory review was conducted in Redalyc, SciELO, Google Scholar, EBSCO, Web of Science and Scopus. We analyzed 36 documents published between 2010 and 2022 focusing on Latin American countries Results. The most frequently described extreme events were droughts, floods, rising temperatures, and landslides, all of which contributed to food supply shortages. Evidence shows persistent gaps in health, access to resources and information, security and human rights, which perpetuate social vulnerability and hinder the effectiveness of public policies addressing the impacts of climate change and the social consequences of the pandemic. Climate-related risks are particularly severe for indigenous and Afro-descendant women and girls, older women, LGBTIQ+ people, women with disabilities, women in migration contexts, and those living in rural, remote or disaster- and conflict-prone areas. Conclusions. Climate change is not gender-neutral, and there remains a gap in the implementation of gender-sensitive climate adaptation policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish):	Introducción. Las consecuencias del cambio climático en las mujeres de los países de Latinoamérica son notablemente más serias a causa de las brechas persistentes en la educación y en el acceso a la tierra y a los servicios de información. Estas desigualdades se profundizan e incrementan los riesgos sanitarios y el deterioro del bienestar y amenazan la subsistencia de los grupos femeninos rurales. Objetivo. Describir la relación entre el cambio climático y la seguridad alimentaria con enfoque de género en Latinoamérica. Materiales y métodos. Se llevó a cabo una revisión exploratoria en las bases de datos Redalyc, SciELO, Google Scholar, EBSCO, Web of Science y Scopus. Se analizaron 36 documentos publicados entre el 2010 y el 2022, con énfasis en los países de Latinoamérica. Resultados. Los eventos climáticos más frecuentes fueron: sequías, inundaciones, aumento de la temperatura y deslizamientos, los cuales generaron limitaciones en el abastecimiento de alimentos. Se identificaron brechas en salud, acceso a los recursos e información, seguridad y derechos humanos, que reproducen vulnerabilidades sociales y dificultan la efectividad de las políticas públicas destinadas a mitigar el impacto del cambio climático y las secuelas sociales de la pandemia. Los riesgos asociados con el cambio climático son particularmente graves para las mujeres y niñas indígenas y afrodescendientes, las mujeres mayores, las personas de la comunidad LGBTIQ+, las mujeres con discapacidad, las mujeres en situación de migración y aquellas que residen en zonas rurales, remotas o expuestas a desastres y conflictos. Conclusiones. El cambio climático no es neutral al género y persiste una brecha en la implementación de las políticas de adaptación con enfoque de género. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
