Maybe you shouldn't. Maybe the people who do care about it can go about creating solutions to their real or perceived problem(s), and maybe the can be okay.
It seems possible, from my perspective, there is enough motivation to go around to work on multiple issues at once.
While climate change, over-fishing, land degradation, certainly could do with more attention, gender issues represent a fairly immediate threat for some people in some places at some times.
Complaints about priorities are a fallacy more often than not, especially since we're talking about different actors - it's not like the people who did this would have been working on climate change otherwise.
But if we were playing the priority game, I'd say that the gender issues that represent immediate threats are stuff like domestic violence and sexual assault. It's reasonable to argue that reducing overall gender bias affects those, but it's a very subtle and long-term effect - and likely beyond the AGW event horizon. It's not going to do anything about the immediate threat.
