Last week we celebrated the International Women’s Day. It got me thinking about the risks faced by our women when it comes to matters climate change. Women do not have easy and adequate access to funds that can enable them cover climate-related losses or take on the opportunities presented by climate change.
Yet, women will be essential to limiting global warming to 1.5°C through their leadership and participation. They make up 51 percent of the global population. Hence, women and girls in every society need to be part of the solution by effectively responding in times of crisis and actively working towards creating a more just and sustainable world.
